Trying to use GIST indexes again


What does this mean?

test=> create index cache_i_gist_sl on cache using gist (r_id, sl_ids);
ERROR: index row requires 8216 bytes, maximum size is 8191

Postgres 7.4.2
I have btree_gist and intarray loaded.
r_id is an integer, sl_ids is an int[].

Does it simply mean one of the int arrays is too large? Most of them have 0,
1, or 2, but there are the occasional entries with up to 2,141 elements.

Yes. Probably you could work around that by using a larger BLCKSZ ...

The server code is running VB6 of all things, using COM+ database interfaces. There are some clustered and non-clustered...

Hi, I thought we would be able to have indexes in a separate tablespace from the tables in another tablespace. So I went and created a INDEXSPACE1, only to not see the syntax on how to create index .... in "INDEXSPACE1" . We have 6 nodes on 3 physical servers ( 2 nodes per server ), each server is a 4-CPU machine.

We've implemented a 5D box data type and have implemented both RTree and GiST access methods under PostgresSQL 7.4 and PostgresSQL 7.4.1. The 5D box internally looks like: struct Box5D{ float minBounds; float maxBounds; }; and so takes up 40 bytes and is of fixed length. The GiST access methods are basically a generalization of the 2D box indexing access methods from Refraction Research's PostGIS.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
