Table compression

I have very large databases that are in postgresql (500Gbs) and individual
tables that take up as much space as 4 GBs. I know that in mysql one can
compress individual tables with isam-compression. I understand that
postgresql compresses text automatically, is there anyway to
compress my large database further?
Thanks.
