I definitely think thick indexes were too ambitious of a target for a first time patch. Sequential index scans is very ambitious itself despite being significantly simpler (if you have a solution which works -- we haven't had one thus far). Can you point me to the thread on "trailing nulls"? I think trimming off any null columns from the ends of tuples when forming them should be a cheap and easy optimization which just nobody's gotten around to doing. If that's what you mean then I'm surprised you had any trouble getting buy-in for it. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
