Yes, I think Stephan Szabo was trying to convince me of something like that for
quite sometime; it was not clear to me then. I'll give it a try.
I still think "CREATE [CLUSTERED] INDEX" (or whatever) is an important feature
and should be implemented in pgSql. Locking large (or huge) tables for
prolonged periods of time may not be acceptable in many setups.
