-- -- Test GiST indexes. -- -- There are other tests to test different GiST opclasses. This is for -- testing GiST code itself. Vacuuming in particular. create table gist_point_tbl(id int4, p point); create index gist_pointidx on gist_point_tbl using gist(p); -- Insert enough data to create a tree that's a couple of levels deep. insert into gist_point_tbl (id, p) select g, point(g*10, g*10) from generate_series(1, 10000) g; insert into gist_point_tbl (id, p) select g+100000, point(g*10+1, g*10+1) from generate_series(1, 10000) g; -- To test vacuum, delete some entries from all over the index. delete from gist_point_tbl where id % 2 = 1; -- And also delete some concentration of values. (GiST doesn't currently -- attempt to delete pages even when they become empty, but if it did, this -- would exercise it) delete from gist_point_tbl where id < 10000; vacuum gist_point_tbl;
