# cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/helo_access.pcre

# postmap -q 10.0.0.1 pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/helo_access.pcre

# cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/user_access
jeff    OK
# postmap -q jeff hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/user_access
postmap: fatal: open database /usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/user_access.db

# postmap hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/user_access
# postmap -q jeff hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/maps/user_access
OK

Use postconf -m to find out what databases your system supports.
