I looked briefly at GPUSort a while back. I couldn't see how to shoehorn into POstgres the assumption that you're always sorting floating point numbers. You would have to add some property of some data types that mapped every value to a floating point value. I suppose we could add that as a btree proc entry for specific data types but it would be a pretty radical change. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's Slony Replication support! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
