[HACKERS] New Access Method
Hello, I am trying to create a new index which is multidimensional (based on R-Tree) which can be used for data warehosuing. I have read the Developers' manual about adding new indexes, and now I want to start coding the new index. My first step is to create the skeleton files, but I cannot compile Postgres now because of errors. This is what I have done: - Create a header file in /src/includes/ - Create a folder in /backend/access/ for the new index. - Created a new C file in the above folder - Copied a Makefile from the other access methods, and changed the references to point to my C file - Edited the /backed/access Makefile to include my new folder I am using Eclipse on WindowsXP. Any pointers about what have I done wrong or anything I missed? Thanks, Alan

However, you don't need to change the source tree at all to make a new index on a type. You usually make the helper functions and then create the operator class and you're done...
