8K limit ...

I'm using PostgreSQL 6.3.2.  It seems that PostgreSQL has a record size
of 8 K..

My problem is that I have some records that contain a  text field called
DESCRIPTION.  Some of these descriptions will be in excess of 25K.

Someone on another list said that there is a way to compile the newer
versions of POSTGRESQL to allow larger block sizes.

Of course the person hasn't bothered answering my question as to where
this information is other than look in the docs.  Well, I have looked in
the docs and I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone know how to compile POSTGRESQL for these larger blocks or
would I just be better off using MySQL?

C'ya,
