IIRC, it was a clear loser performance-wise in the case where the Bloom filter didn't end up helping, and we didn't have a way to avoid doing it when it didn't help. That may or may not be why you didn't pursue it, but I'm fairly sure it was my motivation for being unexcited about the whole idea. I think if we can solve that problem somehow, we have a winner. -- 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
