Per my recent proposal(s). Null key datums can now be returned by extractValue and extractQuery functions, and will be stored in the index. Also, placeholder entries are made for indexable items that are NULL or contain no keys according to extractValue. This means that the index is now always complete, having at least one entry for every indexed heap TID, and so we can get rid of the prohibition on full-index scans. A full-index scan is implemented much the same way as partial-match scans were already: we build a bitmap representing all the TIDs found in the index, and then drive the results off that. Also, introduce a concept of a "search mode" that can be requested by extractQuery when the operator requires matching to empty items (this is just as cheap as matching to a single key) or requires a full index scan (which is not so cheap, but it sure beats failing or giving wrong answers). The behavior remains backward compatible for opclasses that don't return any null keys or request a non-default search mode. Using these features, we can now make the GIN index opclass for anyarray behave in a way that matches the actual anyarray operators for &&, <@, @>, and = ... which it failed to do before in assorted corner cases. This commit fixes the core GIN code and ginarrayprocs.c, updates the documentation, and adds some simple regression test cases for the new behaviors using the array operators. The tsearch and contrib GIN opclass support functions still need to be looked over and probably fixed. Another thing I intend to fix separately is that this is pretty inefficient for cases where more than one scan condition needs a full-index search: we'll run duplicate GinScanEntrys, each one of which builds a large bitmap. There is some existing logic to merge duplicate GinScanEntrys but it needs refactoring to make it work for entries belonging to different scan keys. Note that most of gin.h has been split out into a new file gin_private.h, so that gin.h doesn't export anything that's not supposed to be used by GIN opclasses or the rest of the backend. I did quite a bit of other code beautification work as well, mostly fixing comments and choosing more appropriate names for things. |

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. In these cases, after you have installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file. For example, $ psql -d dbname -f module.sql See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
