I think its a good idea, the best idea even, but we still have no idea what the requirements are without a clear case for an external index. It could easily turn out that we invent a plausible API that's not actually of use because of requirements for locking. Whoever wants that can do the legwork. IIRC each of the new index types has required some changes to the generic APIs, which makes sense. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
