Hi

We have some tables with documents and their metadata (filename, 
filetype, etc).
Most of the time we just want to get the metadata (filename, filetype, 
etc) and not the document itself.
In this case it would be nice to have the metadata (which wouldn't end 
up on the TOAST) on a fast array (SSD-based),
and put the filedata on a slow array (HDD-based). It's probably possible 
to have two tables one for metadata and one
for the extra file, but this is a workaround.
