Jaime,
CREATE INDEX myindex_normal ON foo(col1);
Creates btree structure. In other dbm system btree structure can be used for
searches where only some first characters in index key are known.
So I see no reason to create second index using text_pattern_ops for this
purpose.
I'm searching a way to use Postgres regular index for this.
