The catalog <code class="structname">pg_opclass</code> defines
index access method operator classes. Each operator class defines
semantics for index columns of a particular data type and a particular
index access method. An operator class essentially specifies that a
particular operator family is applicable to a particular indexable column
data type. The set of operators from the family that are actually usable
with the indexed column are whichever ones accept the column's data type
as their left-hand input.
</p><p>
Operator classes are described at length in <a class="xref" href="xindex.html" title="38.16. Interfacing Extensions to Indexes">Section 38.16</a>.
