That only discourages pushing a particular column out; it will still
do so if the row exceeds TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD after compression.
I kinda doubt the OP wants it to fail outright for rows over 8K,
so altering TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD seems like the right answer.
Too bad we don't have that set up as a reloption...
