After looking at 05 again, I don't like the "same as %" business. Creating a whole new class of exceptions is not my thing, particularly not in a regression test whose sole purpose is to look for exceptional (a.k.a. "wrong") cases. I would much rather define the opclasses for those two datatypes using the existing @> operators rather than create && operators for this purpose. We can add a note to the docs, "for historical reasons the brin opclass for datatype box/point uses the <@ operator instead of &&", or something like that.
AFAICS this is just some pretty small changes to patches 05 and 06. Will you please resubmit? I just pushed patch 01, and I'm looking at 04 next. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
