61.2. Built-in Operator Classes

The core PostgreSQL distribution includes the GIN operator classes shown in Table 61-1. (Some of the optional modules described in Appendix F provide additional GIN operator classes.)

Table 61-1. Built-in GIN Operator Classes

_bpchar_ops character[] && <@ = @>
_bytea_ops bytea[] && <@ = @>
_char_ops "char"[] && <@ = @>
_cidr_ops cidr[] && <@ = @>

_int4_ops integer[] && <@ = @>
_int8_ops bigint[] && <@ = @>
_interval_ops interval[] && <@ = @>
_macaddr_ops macaddr[] && <@ = @>
_money_ops money[] && <@ = @>

_timetz_ops time with time zone[] && <@ = @>
_tinterval_ops tinterval[] && <@ = @>

jsonb_ops jsonb ? ?& ?| @>
jsonb_path_ops jsonb @>
tsvector_ops tsvector @@ @@@

Of the two operator classes for type jsonb, jsonb_ops is the default. jsonb_path_ops supports fewer operators but offers better performance for those operators. See Section 8.14.4 for details.
