My mistake. A closer reading, however, shows that at least for cases like intarray, btree_gist, etc., the detoasting of an index value is being done in the gist decompress function, so the value seen via GISTENTRY in the other functions should already have been detoasted once. -- Andrew, Supernews http://www.supernews.com - individual and corporate NNTP services ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
