I'm not sure what that means. Can you create normal btree or hash indexes
on hstore columns? And is the index useful for both `@>` and `?`?

That means that those operations are supported by a GiST (or GIN) index,
that is:

 "find the records where col contains 'foo => 1, bar => 2'"

is supported by the index. Likewise for "is contained in" and "has key".
It's a bit like having mini-indexes on all keys (although I guess not
that efficient). Pretty cool, I'd say.

Yeah, that does sound good. I look forward to having an excuse for playing with this type…

Best,

David
