I have not jet been reading all of it but some of the README files. I will keep that hint in mind but first of all I'll read something about bitmap compression and other relevant techniques before starting to discover the index internals of postgresql... ;-) I've been using all kinds of functions in oracle for a long time but never had the experience to implement any indexing strategies. The only thing I did were some operating system extensions for minix during my os-studies (scheduling, driver, acl etc.) If there is anything additional/special to know further, I apreciate any hints.
