Re: index row size exceeds btree maximum, 2713 - Solutions? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hmm, well, I don't know if it is actually building an index properly on
this column, I just assumed that it was.  It doesn't fail on every
insert, only on the one that has a really long text value.  I know it
doesn't use the index when I do "ILIKE" queries, resulting in poor
performance...  but I assumed that was because I was trying to do a
case insensitve search on a case sensitive column index.  I didn't want
to go down the road of writing even more database implementation
specific code.  I will usually be using Lucene for the full text
searches anyway. 

Where is the documentation on tsearch2?  I haven't seen it mentioned
anywhere except a couple of mailing list postings.

All of my other limitations on changing things aside - given a query
like this:

Select * from conceptproperty where codingSchemeName='foo' AND
property='anotherfoo' and propertyValue ILIKE 'valu%'

What indexe(s) would be recommended? 

My current 3 column index (that works on other DB's) doesn't perform
well due to case sensitivity issues, and now fails, due to data length
issues.

    The index that is failing is CREATE INDEX i1 ON conceptproperty USING btree
(codingschemename, property, propertyvalue).




I don't think you could create indexes on text fields... there are
other type of indexes for that... tsearch2 for example
