Multi-Entry (SP-)GiST Indexing for Complex Data Types

This directory contains implementations for the Multi-Entry GiST and SP-GiST access methods. These access methods are variation of the GiST and SP-GiST indices, allowing for more efficient indexing of complex and composite data types.

Contents

The repository contains 4 PostgreSQL extensions split into 4 separate folders:

• mgist:
  • contains the Multi-Entry GiST access method and an implementation of a multi-entry R-tree for the PostgreSQL path type.
• mgist-mobilitydb:
  • contains the implementation of a multi-entry R-tree for the MobilityDB tgeompoint type.
• mspgist:
  • contains the Multi-Entry SP-GiST access method.
• mspgist-mobilitydb:
  • contains the implementations of a multi-entry Quadtree and Kd-tree for the MobilityDB tgeompoint type.

For more information about each extension, please refer to their associated README file.
