NOTICE:
|
|
This version will works only with postgresql version 7.4 and above
|
|
because of changes in interface of function calling and in system
|
|
tables.
|
|
|
|
If you want to index varchar attributes, you have to index using
|
|
the function text(<varchar>):
|
|
Example:
|
|
CREATE TABLE test ( a varchar(23) );
|
|
CREATE INDEX testidx ON test USING GIST ( text(a) );
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
gmake
|
|
gmake install
|
|
-- load functions
|
|
psql <database> < btree_gist.sql
|
|
|
|
REGRESSION TEST:
|
|
|
|
gmake installcheck
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE USAGE:
|
|
|
|
create table test (a int4);
|
|
-- create index
|
|
create index testidx on test using gist (a);
|
|
-- query
|
|
select * from test where a < 10;
