I noticed OCTET_LENGTH will return the size of the data after TOAST may
have compressed it. While this could be useful information, this
behaviour has no basis in the SQL standard and it's not what is
documented. Moreover, it eliminates the standard useful behaviour of
OCTET_LENGTH, which is to show the length in bytes of a multibyte string.
