65.2. Built-in Operator Classes
The core PostgreSQL distribution includes the SP-GiST operator classes shown in Table 65.1.
Table 65.1. Built-in SP-GiST Operator Classes
| Name | Indexed Data Type | Indexable Operators |
|---|---|---|
kd_point_ops | point |
<< <@ <^ >> >^ ~=
|
quad_point_ops | point |
<< <@ <^ >> >^ ~=
|
range_ops | any range type |
&& &< &> -|- << <@ = >> @>
|
box_ops | box |
<< &< && &> >> ~= @> <@ &<| <<| |>> |&>
|
poly_ops | polygon |
<< &< && &> >> ~= @> <@ &<| <<| |>> |&>
|
text_ops | text |
< <= = > >= ~<=~ ~<~ ~>=~ ~>~ ^@
|
inet_ops |
inet, cidr
|
&& >> >>= > >= <> << <<= < <= =
|
Of the two operator classes for type point, quad_point_ops is the default. kd_point_ops supports the same operators but uses a different index data structure that may offer better performance in some applications.
