>Description</H2
><P
>   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE OPERATOR CLASS</TT
> creates a new operator class.
   An operator class defines how a particular data type can be used with
   an index.  The operator class specifies that certain operators will fill
   particular roles or <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"strategies"</SPAN
> for this data type and this
   index method.  The operator class also specifies the support procedures to
   be used by
   the index method when the operator class is selected for an
   index column.  All the operators and functions used by an operator
   class must be defined before the operator class can be created.
  </P
><P
>   If a schema name is given then the operator class is created in the
   specified schema.  Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
   Two operator classes in the same schema can have the same name only if they
   are for different index methods.
  </P
><P
>   The user who defines an operator class becomes its owner.  Presently,
   the creating user must be a superuser.  (This restriction is made because
   an erroneous operator class definition could confuse or even crash the
   server.)
  </P
><P
>   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE OPERATOR CLASS</TT
> does not presently check
   whether the operator class definition includes all the operators and
   functions required by the index method, nor whether the operators and
   functions form a self-consistent set.  It is the user's
   responsibility to define a valid operator class.
  </P
><P
>   Related operator classes can be grouped into <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>operator
   families</I
>.  To add a new operator class to an existing family,
   specify the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>FAMILY</TT
> option in <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE OPERATOR
   CLASS</TT
>.  Without this option, the new class is placed into
   a family named the same as the new class (creating that family if
   it doesn't already exist).

><H2
>Notes</H2
><P
>   Because the index machinery does not check access permissions on functions
   before using them, including a function or operator in an operator class
   is tantamount to granting public execute permission on it.  This is usually
   not an issue for the sorts of functions that are useful in an operator
   class.
  </P
><P
>   The operators should not be defined by SQL functions.  A SQL function
   is likely to be inlined into the calling query, which will prevent
   the optimizer from recognizing that the query matches an index.
  </P
><P
>   Before <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> 8.4, the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>OPERATOR</TT
>
   clause could include a <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RECHECK</TT
> option.  This is no longer
   supported because whether an index operator is <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"lossy"</SPAN
> is now
   determined on-the-fly at run time.  This allows efficient handling of
   cases where an operator might or might not be lossy.
