This does not seem to work.
One thing or two I did not say in my previous post :
- the 'created' column is a timestamp, so the to_char function needs a second argument to know which format to use.
- the 'ip' column is of postgres type inet, that's why I use the << operator.
- for some other queries, I also need a filter on IPs but not on the timestamp.
For the ip thing, I just looked at the doc and it seems a '<<' operator
on inet columns just can't use an indexed column properly. All I can do
is simple comparisons such as <, <=, =, >=, > (only the btree access
method is implemented in my current version of Postgres : 7.1.3 ; will
this change in 7.2 ?).
