Good morning, I am Rebecca Zahra and I am currently in my final year of Masters studies at the University of Malta. My thesis is about the usage of indexes for multi-dimensional data.
I was going through the posts regarding GIST indexes and I came across the following http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/39589/optimizing-queries-on-a-range-of-timestamps-two-columns I was wondering if maybe you can help me with a question. I know that an R-Tree index implementation is used on top of GIST to index spatial data. Can you please tell me what type of index is used on top of GIST to index *range types*? Thanks a lot for your time. Greatly appreciate Rebecca
