+ 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>.
