<code class="filename">btree_gin</code> provides sample GIN operator classes that
implement B-tree equivalent behavior for the data types
<code class="type">int2</code>, <code class="type">int4</code>, <code class="type">int8</code>, <code class="type">float4</code>,
<code class="type">float8</code>, <code class="type">timestamp with time zone</code>,
<code class="type">timestamp without time zone</code>, <code class="type">time with time zone</code>,
<code class="type">time without time zone</code>, <code class="type">date</code>, <code class="type">interval</code>,
<code class="type">oid</code>, <code class="type">money</code>, <code class="type">"char"</code>,
<code class="type">varchar</code>, <code class="type">text</code>, <code class="type">bytea</code>, <code class="type">bit</code>,
<code class="type">varbit</code>, <code class="type">macaddr</code>, <code class="type">macaddr8</code>, <code class="type">inet</code>,
<code class="type">cidr</code>, <code class="type">uuid</code>, <code class="type">name</code>, <code class="type">bool</code>,
<code class="type">bpchar</code>, and all <code class="type">enum</code> types.
</p><p>
In general, these operator classes will not outperform the equivalent
standard B-tree index methods, and they lack one major feature of the
standard B-tree code: the ability to enforce uniqueness. However,
they are useful for GIN testing and as a base for developing other
GIN operator classes. Also, for queries that test both a GIN-indexable
column and a B-tree-indexable column, it might be more efficient to create
a multicolumn GIN index that uses one of these operator classes than to create
two separate indexes that would have to be combined via bitmap ANDing.

This module is considered <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">trusted</span>”</span>, that is, it can be
installed by non-superusers who have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege
on the current database.
