Hi everyone, I'm trying to mark a GiST index as lossy using the RECHECK operator as part of some work on PostGIS, but what happens is that the original operator function is never reapplied to the results of the index scan. The operator class and operator definitions looks like this:
CREATE OPERATOR && ( LEFTARG = GEOMETRY, RIGHTARG = GEOMETRY, PROCEDURE = geometry_overlap, COMMUTATOR = '&&', RESTRICT = postgis_gist_sel, JOIN = positionjoinsel ); and: CREATE OPERATOR CLASS gist_geometry_ops DEFAULT FOR TYPE geometry USING gist AS OPERATOR 1 << RECHECK, OPERATOR 2 &< RECHECK, OPERATOR 3 && RECHECK, OPERATOR 4 &> RECHECK, OPERATOR 5 >> RECHECK, OPERATOR 6 ~= RECHECK, OPERATOR 7 ~ RECHECK, OPERATOR 8 @ RECHECK, FUNCTION 1 ggeometry_consistent (internal, geometry, int4), FUNCTION 2 gbox_union (bytea, internal), FUNCTION 3 ggeometry_compress (internal), FUNCTION 4 rtree_decompress (internal), FUNCTION 5 gbox_penalty (internal, internal, internal), FUNCTION 6 gbox_picksplit (internal, internal), FUNCTION 7 gbox_same (box, box, internal); What I'm expecting is that since RECHECK is specified, PostgreSQL will identify the index entries using the && operator and then call geometry_overlap() function with the full tuples from the heap. However, it seems geometry_overlap() is never called from an index scan made using the && operator :( Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong? Many thanks, Mark. --- Mark Cave-Ayland Webbased Ltd.
