HINT: You must specify an operator class for the index or define a
default operator class for the data type.
This is on a new 8.3 install.
Why is this happening? Isn't creating a GIN index on a text type a
common thing to do?
I'm not seeing any mention of this in 8.3.7 docs cha 12 (Full Text
Search).
Do I really have to CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make this work?
I see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/sql-createopclass.html
I still don't understand the above, but the following works:
create index ufile_name_ginidx on uploadtree using
gin(to_tsvector('english', ufile_name));
