<para>
- Also kNN framework allows us to cheat with metrics in order to get results
- sorted by selected coodinate directly from the index without extra sorting
- step. That technique significantly faster on small values of LIMIT, however
- with bigger values of LIMIT planner will switch automatically to standart
- index scan and sort.
- That behavior can be achieved using coordinate operator
- (cube c)~>(int offset).
+ The scalar ordering operators (<literal><</>, <literal>>=</>, etc)
+ do not make a lot of sense for any practical purpose but sorting. These
+ operators first compare the first coordinates, and if those are equal,
+ compare the second coordinates, etc. They exist mainly to support the
+ b-tree index operator class for <type>cube</>, which can be useful for
+ example if you would like a UNIQUE constraint on a <type>cube</> column.

<para>
- So using that operator as kNN metric we can obtain cubes sorted by it's
- coordinate.
+ The <filename>cube</> module also provides a GiST index operator class for
+ <type>cube</> values.
+ A <type>cube</> GiST index can be used to search for values using the
+ <literal>=</>, <literal>&&</>, <literal>@></>, and
+ <literal><@</> operators in <literal>WHERE</> clauses.
</para>

<para>
- To get cubes ordered by first coordinate of lower left corner ascending
- one can use the following query:
- </para>
+ In addition, a <type>cube</> GiST index can be used to find nearest
+ neighbors using the metric operators
+ <literal><-></>, <literal><#></>, and
+ <literal><=></> in <literal>ORDER BY</> clauses.
+ For example, the nearest neighbor of the 3-D point (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
+ could be found efficiently with:
<programlisting>
-SELECT c FROM test ORDER BY c~>1 LIMIT 5;
+SELECT c FROM test
+ORDER BY cube(array[0.5,0.5,0.5]) <-> c
+LIMIT 1;
</programlisting>
- <para>
- And to get cubes descending by first coordinate of upper right corner
- of 2d-cube:
</para>
-<programlisting>
-SELECT c FROM test ORDER BY c~>3 DESC LIMIT 5;
-</programlisting>
-
-
<para>
- The standard B-tree operators are also provided, for example

- These operators do not make a lot of sense for any practical
- purpose but sorting. These operators first compare (a) to (c),
- and if these are equal, compare (b) to (d). That results in
- reasonably good sorting in most cases, which is useful if
- you want to use ORDER BY with this type.
+ The <literal>~></> operator can also be used in this way to
+ efficiently retrieve the first few values sorted by a selected coordinate.
+ For example, to get the first few cubes ordered by the first coordinate
+ (lower left corner) ascending one could use the following query:
+<programlisting>
+SELECT c FROM test ORDER BY c ~> 1 LIMIT 5;
+</programlisting>
+ And to get 2-D cubes ordered by the first coordinate of the upper right
+ corner descending:
+<programlisting>
+SELECT c FROM test ORDER BY c ~> 3 DESC LIMIT 5;
+</programlisting>
