Reducing table size with optimal column ordering and array-based storage
We take a look at how column ordering affects storage size, how you can play column tetris to optimize it, and the big benefits that array-based storage can yield for some workloads.
There's no official support for system-versioned tables in Postgres yet, and the temporal extensions aren't supported on Azure/AWS/GCP. Let's implement it ourselves with 3 triggers and an index.
