The current implementation of <acronym>GiST</acronym> within |
|
|
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has some major limitations: |
|
|
|
|
<acronym>GiST</acronym> index access is not concurrent, and the |
|
|
|
|
<acronym>GiST</acronym> interface doesn't allow the development of certain |
|
|
|
|
data types, such as digital trees (see papers by Aoki et al). |

Solutions to the concurrency problems appear in Marcel Kornacker's |
|
|
|
|
thesis; however these ideas have not yet been put into practice in the |
|
|
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> implementation. |
