我已经继承了带有一个非常大的TOAST表的系统的维护。对于表和索引大小约为400 MB的表，吐司为631 GB 。
clientportal=# SELECT oid,table_schema,table_name,total_bytes,pg_size_pretty(total_bytes) AS total,pg_size_pretty(index_bytes) AS INDEX,pg_size_pretty(toast_bytes) AS toast,pg_size_pretty(table_bytes) AS TABLE
FROM (
SELECT *,total_bytes-index_bytes-COALESCE(toast_bytes,0) AS table_bytes FROM (
SELECT c.oid,nspname AS table_schema,relname AS TABLE_NAME,c.reltuples AS row_estimate,pg_total_relation_size(c.oid) AS total_bytes,pg_indexes_size(c.oid) AS index_bytes,pg_total_relation_size(reltoastrelid) AS toast_bytes
FROM pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE relkind = 'r'
) a
) a order by total_bytes desc;

使用对所有表执行pg_size_pretty(sum(pg_column_size($columnName)))的查询，我看不出哪一列可能使用了那么多。所以我可能遇到了对该功能的限制或误解：

我怀疑sip_password或notes列会将行发送给烤面包。那并不能证明我希望将这些列设置为null会减少TOAST的使用，但是经过研究，我认为这不会发生或需要VaccUM FULL
- 有没有一种方法可以确定哪个列或行正在使用那么多的TOAST空间？
- 将某些文本列设置为空后，我该怎么办才能减小TOAST大小？
更新：万一\d+很重要（但并不能完全回答问题）：
