Hi all,
I'm checking out some features in pgsql and found out about an array
datatype. As I'm curious to find out how well it performs, I've created
a table that contains an integer[] column and a script to insert about
500K rows in it. The length for the integer[] column is random (can be
10, can be 5000, can be more than that), as are the values in it.
When trying to insert a row, I get the following error:
index row requires 9796 bytes, maximum size is 8191
If I understood correctly, this is a limit of the b-tree index. Usually
you'd want to use another type of index but, again if I understood
correctly, those are meant mostly for full-text indexing.
Remember, I'm doing this for recreational purposes (the array type is
there, wanted to check out it's performance so why not? :-) ).
So my questions are: is this at all possible? If so, is is possible to
increate that maximum size?
Regards,
Celso
