We utilize all indexing capabilities in PostgreSQL.

In the world of Postgres, indexes are crucial for effective navigation through the database storage (referred to as the 'heap'). Postgres does not support clustering for it, and the MVCC architecture leads to the accumulation of many versions of the same tuple. Therefore, it is essential to be able to create and maintain efficient indexes to support applications. I present to you […]
