I've read article by Theodore Jonhnson
"Performance Measurements of Compressed Bitmap Indices"
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/vldb/Johnson99.html
and is wondering if there are plans to implement bitmap indices
in postgres. As it stated in the article these indices could speedup
join operations and decision support queries.
