Hi, I have a problem with arrays in Postgres. I want to create a really large array, lets say 3 billion characters long.
As far I could read from the documentation - this should be possible. But my question is, is there a kind of index on the array. Lets say, I want to get element 2,675,345,328. Does Postgres have to load the entire array into memory and then run through the 2.6 billion characters to return the one I want or does Postgres have an index - as where to find this element on disk? Any advice is welcome and thanks in advance Silke Trißl ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
