Two questions about GIN on 8.2. There's not much documentation about
GIN, but this should be possible:
create table foo (values text[]);
create index foo_values_index on foo using gin (text);
However, this then fails saying the operator "@" does not exist:
select * from foo where values @ '{hello, world}'
Do I need to reference a specific opclass when creating the index?
From the documentation I got the impression that GIN bundled
operators for most built-in types.
Secondly, are GIN indexes immutable and (unlike Tsearch2) non-lossy
and therefore useful with functional indexes? I would like to do this:
create table bar (value text);
create index bar_value_index on bar using gin (analyze(value));
where analyze() is a function of my own that tokenizes, stems and
filters the text into a text[] array.
Alexander.
