Values larger than 1/3 of a buffer page cannot be indexed (hstore) - Mailing list pgsql-general

I get the same error but I'm using a hstore attribute (called 'tags').

Unfortunately, the trick with the MD5 function index does not work neither:

CREATE INDEX planet_osm_point_tags
  ON planet_osm_point ((md5(tags)));
ERROR: Funktion md5(hstore) does not exist
SQL state: 42883

Any ideas on how to index my hstore attribute?

Yours, S.
