Do you have a reference, or more information on what a Peano code i
It seems that R-trees become inefficient when the number of dimensions
increase. Has anyone thoght of a transparent way to use Peano codes (hhcode
in Oracle lingo), and use B-tree indexes instead?
Also, I've read that R-trees sometimes suffer a lot when an update overflows
a node in the index.

To be honest, Tom, I've always seen GiST not just as a great feature, but as an essential feature. Using Stonebraker's definition of an object-relational database (which I tend to do, as it's the only one that I've read about in depth), w

Yeah? Does it still work?
Since the GIST code is not tested by any standard regress test, and is
so poorly documented that

Hi,
Remember also that the GiST library has been integrated into PG, (my brother is doing some thesis workon that at the moment), and you can create new index types relatively quickly (assuming that you understand the indexing theory ;-)
