Thanks for the answer, I've one more question:
I've provided a default btree operator class but I'm often
going out of memory when using DISTINCT or UNION clauses.
How can I reduce memory usage in these cases ?
Since passed argument are TOASTED, but I use only a small
initial portion if them to make the computation, can I
avoid DETOASTING them and still reach that initial part ?
The information I need is stored at offset 40 from detoasted data
and is 6doubles long. I cannot find TOAST documentation.
thanks.
