Обсуждение: btree gist known problems
I'm looking for known problem areas in btree_gist. I see: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/8973.1286841006@sss.pgh.pa.us With Range Types, I'm anticipating that btree_gist will become more important, so I'd like to know what bugs are holding it back. So, anything else come to mind? Or does btree_gist just need a good review? Or have the problems been fixed? Regards,Jeff Davis

The thing I was complaining about in the referenced message is specific to the inet opclass; it's unfair to make it sound like it's a generic problem with btree_gist. And no, it's not been fixed AFAIK. regards, tom lane

And no, it's not been fixed AFAIK. Sorry, I thought I remembered a few other comments but couldn't find them in the archives. I must be mistaken. Regards,Jeff Davis
