My wish list includes incorporating the ideas brought forward in this
post
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-hackers/2000-09/msg00513.html
which discusses a patch that allows queries to return data from
the index scan directly. In the thread it was noted that this should
be optional in that their is a small storage overhead but preliminary
results were showing a potential 75X increase in performance. Oracle
has a similar index only table. A special index type that includes a
tid would be really nice and I think worth investigating.
