Subject: Generalize index support in network support function
X-Git-Tag: REL_18_BETA1~456
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be1cc9aaf5b79f07bc0483a0c95366c77a844d0a;p=postgresql.git

Generalize index support in network support function

The network (inet) support functions currently only supported a
hardcoded btree operator family.  With the generalized compare type
facility, we can generalize this to support any operator family from
any index type that supports the required operators.
