Re: [HACKERS] index-only count(*) for indexes supporting bitmap scans

I've pushed the executor part of this, but mostly not the planner part, because I didn't think the latter was anywhere near ready for prime time: the regression test changes it was causing were entirely bogus. Hi Tom, Thanks for the commit and the explanation. I'll try to address your comments

|Hello everyone, I made a new patch according to the previous comments. It is simpler now, only adding a few checks to the bitmap heap scan node. When the target list for the bitmap heap scan is empty, and there is no filter, and the bitmap page generated by the index scan is exact, and the c

Hi, I would like to propose a patch that speeds up the queries of the form 'select count(*) ... where ...', where the restriction clauses can be satisfied by some indexes. At the moment, such queries use index-only scans followed by aggregation. Index-only scans are only possible for indexes
