Thread: Bitmap index

Hello,
I saw discussion about bitmap indexes few weeks ago. I wonder if
any of you is working on it (in secret)? I will be chosing subject
of my master thesis and thougth about implementing bitmap indexes.

For what it's worth, I don't know of anyone working on them.

I have been looking into this myself but have not had the time to
attack it. If you are going to pick this up and run with it, please let
