Do you mean source-code level implementation (i.e. changes to Postgres
internals), or the user-level stuff you need to know (i.e. how to use
the 'TOAST' feature in your apps).
If the former, the source code, I guess. -HACKERS would be a better
list to ask on.
If the later, you don't need to know anything. Just use a 'TEXT' storage
type and Postgres will let you store as much as you want in there
(I think there is still a 1GB/row limit, but that doesn't include the
automatic compression TOAST does).
So as a 'normal' developer, you don't need to worry about it, the
8K limit has just gone away.
As for PHP, TOAST really doesn't have anything to do with it.
Cheers,
Neil
