That is in the back of my mind for 8.2 or so; I thought it'd be a bit premature to propose it for 8.1, though. The real bottom line here is that any devel effort we might put into rtree would probably be better spent on gist. We have limited resources and we can't afford to waste 'em on code that doesn't have a clear claim to fame. As a contrasting example, I am surely not proposing that we drop btree in favor of btree_gist ;-) ... but rtree has always been marginal, and it's very hard to see where it can win over gist. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
