Beautiful! That fixed my problem. One thing that might be useful is to update the Index method-extension documentation on the web site to reflect this problem a bit...if somebody just wants to get a working index, it can be a bit misleading. I'll probably go and see if I can construct a few wor

So, I've migrated my code to do the TOAST'ing thing required of 7.1 clients, and I've updated my operator to use the areaselectors: CREATE OPERATOR = ( leftarg = graph, rightarg = graphrange, procedure = graph_inrange, commutator = '=', restri

[HACKERS] GiST indexing problems...

2001-05-05 Thread David McWherter
I've been doing some research work using the GiST indexes, but I persistently develop a problem where the system doesn't make use of the indexes during the execution of a query. If I use the examples provided here: http://wit.mcs.anl.gov/~selkovjr/pg_extensions/ For instance, and I pla
