Marc G. Fournier 1db943b3ca commit Oleg and Teodor's RD-tree implementation ... this provides the
regression tests for the GiST changes ... this should be integrated into
the regular regression tests similar to Vadim's SPI contrib stuff ...

This is an implementation of RD-tree data structure using GiST interface
of PostgreSQL. It has built-in lossy compression - must be declared
in index creation - with (islossy). Current implementation has index support
for one-dimensional array of int4's.
All work was done by Teodor Sigaev (teodor@stack.net) and Oleg Bartunov
(oleg@sai.msu.su). See http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist
for additional information.
INSTALLATION:
gmake
gmake install
-- load functions
psql <database> < _int.sql
REGRESSION TEST:
gmake installcheck
EXAMPLE USAGE:
create table message (mid int not null,sections int[]);
create table message_section_map (mid int not null,sid int not null);
-- create indices
CREATE unique index message_key on message ( mid );
CREATE unique index message_section_map_key2 on message_section_map (sid, mid );
CREATE INDEX message_rdtree_idx on message using gist ( sections ) with ( islossy );
-- select some messages with section in 1 OR 2 - OVERLAP operator
select message.mid from message where message.sections && '{1,2}';
-- select messages contains in sections 1 AND 2 - CONTAINS operator
select message.mid from message where message.sections @ '{1,2}';
-- the same, CONTAINED operator
select message.mid from message where '{1,2}' ~ message.sections;
BENCHMARK:
subdirectory bench contains benchmark suite.
cd ./bench
1. createdb TEST
2. psql TEST < ../_int.sql
3. ./create_test.pl | psql TEST
4. ./bench.pl - perl script to benchmark queries, supports OR, AND queries
with/without RD-Tree. Run script without arguments to
see availbale options.
a)test without RD-Tree (OR)
./bench.pl -d TEST -s 1,2 -v
b)test with RD-Tree
./bench.pl -d TEST -s 1,2 -v -r
BENCHMARKS:
Size of table <message>: 200000
Size of table <message_section_map>: 268538
Distribution of messages by sections:
section 0: 73899 messages
section 1: 16298 messages
section 50: 1241 messages
section 99: 705 messages
old - without RD-Tree support,
new - with RD-Tree
