In current implementation xlog record ids are used in capacity of that numbers. In unlogged table no xlog records are produced. So, we haven't serial numbers of operations. AFAIK, it's enough to provide some other source of serial number in order to make GiST work with unlogged tables. > Do you see some synergy in your work on fast GiST index building and > unlogged tables? > With tecnhique discussing in this thread GiST build can win form unlogged as much as with regular build. ------ With best regards, Alexander Korotkov.
