Who would pay? 1) I haven't achieved what I need: realtime indexing. I can't query the "current 15 minutes" table efficiently. Plus, K*log(N) is not that great when you have a lot of K. 2) I'm not suggesting that this is top priority. I'm asking if there's something else, other than "we don't have time for this", that I don't know. In fact, I don't even know if those indexes types would really help in my (specific) case. That's why my original question was "why aren't there developments in this area": I didn't mean to imply someone should do it. I just wanted to know if those indexes were already discussed (and maybe dismissed for some reason) in the past... -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
