That's pretty much what I have in mind. I think it's likely that if we end up with, say, 3 kinds of heap and 12 kinds of index, there will be some compatibility matrix. Some index AMs will be compatible with some heap AMs, and others won't be. For example, if somebody makes an IOT-type heap using the API proposed here or some other one, BRIN probably won't work at all. btree, on the other hand, could probably be made to work, perhaps with some greater or lesser degree of modification. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
