I have some tables with bitmask integers. Set bits are the interesting

If it's sparse, create a partial index that just includes rows where the
bit is set:

That would mean that if different bits are queried there would need to be several of those indexes.

Maybe it's an alternative to index all rows where misc_bits <> 0 and include that criterion in the query.

Kind regards
