Yep but doesn't quite help my webmail app :). 

I'm wondering if TOAST is going to be efficient enough for me to plonk
multimegabyte email attachments into the database. 

However I've also a suspicion that there might be problems doing

INSERT INTO mytable (a) values ( 'aa.......');

Where aa... is a few megabytes long :). There's probably a query size limit
somewhere between my app and TOAST. 

Cheerio,
