An operator family defines a collection of related operator classes, and perhaps some additional operators and support functions that are compatible with these operator classes but not essential for the functioning of any individual index\&. (Operators and functions that are essential to indexes should be grouped within the relevant operator class, rather than being +\(lqloose\(rq +in the operator family\&. Typically, single\-data\-type operators are bound to operator classes, while cross\-data\-type operators can be loose in an operator family containing operator classes for both data types\&.) +.PP +The new operator family is initially empty\&. It should be populated by issuing subsequent +\fBCREATE OPERATOR CLASS\fR +commands to add contained operator classes, and optionally +\fBALTER OPERATOR FAMILY\fR +commands to add +\(lqloose\(rq +operators and their corresponding support functions\&. +.PP +If a schema name is given then the operator family is created in the specified schema\&. Otherwise it is created in the current schema\&. Two operator families in the same schema can have the same name only if they are for different index methods\&. +.PP +The user who defines an operator family becomes its owner\&. Presently, the creating user must be a superuser\&. (This restriction is made because an erroneous operator family definition could confuse or even crash the server\&.) +.PP +Refer to +Section\ \&38.16 +for further information\&. +.SH "PARAMETERS" +.PP +\fIname\fR +.RS 4 +The name of the operator family to be created\&.
