What do you mean with "accumulate"? They (and their index)
should exist exactly as long as the table they belong to.
The system creates a toast table automatically for every
table, where toasted values could possibly occur in the
future (means any table using any of the variable sized base
data types). The only chance you have for now would be to
disable the toast feature in the pg_type entries for those
datatypes you use before creating your user tables.
