Thanks. Currently I am also referring to different implementations of an index to see the most suitable to implement. For an R+ tree ( a variant of R tree ), I have found an example implementation in C. Does anyone know of an R+ tree implementation done with GIST (generalized search tree)? Since a GIST structure is also available in Postgresql.
Thanks again.

You will need to study the source code for the existing index types. There is not much documentation other than the sources for the index access method APIs.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I am posting to ask for some help and suggestions.
For a project I am doing in university, I need to add indexing mechanisms to the Postgresql database (R+ tree, bitmap indexes). Version of Postgresql is 7.3.3. I would like to ask how I can integrate the structures and algorithms for the indexes into the Postgresql DB. What are the C interface functions in Postgresql to add indexes? Do I need to handle things like memory buffer management, disk storage management when implementing the indexes? Thanks in advance.
