NOTICE:
|
||||
This version will only work with PostgreSQL version 7.4 and above
|
||||
because of changes in the system catalogs and the function call
|
||||
interface.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to index varchar attributes, you have to index using
|
||||
the function text(<varchar>):
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
CREATE TABLE test ( a varchar(23) );
|
||||
CREATE INDEX testidx ON test USING GIST ( text(a) );
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLATION:
|
||||
|
||||
gmake
|
||||
gmake install
|
||||
-- load functions
|
||||
psql <database> < btree_gist.sql
|
||||
|
||||
REGRESSION TEST:
|
||||
|
||||
gmake installcheck
|
||||
|
||||
EXAMPLE USAGE:
|
||||
|
||||
create table test (a int4);
|
||||
-- create index
|
||||
create index testidx on test using gist (a);
|
||||
-- query
|
||||
select * from test where a < 10;
