On the contrary I'm using it for something that isn't really what it was designed for precisely *because* of the index methods. What index access methods are you looking for that are lacking? db=> explain select * from foo where foo_code << '4.0.0.0/8'; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index Scan using foo_foo_code on foo (cost=0.00..34.56 rows=1695 width=229) Index Cond: ((foo_code > '4.0.0.0/8'::cidr) AND (foo_code <= '4.255.255.255'::cidr)) Filter: (foo_code << '4.0.0.0/8'::cidr) (3 rows) -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
