PostgreSQL does indeed have btree indexes, but also inverted indexes (GIN), and the excellent GIST index type. (it seems to me the btree type does well enough in this case; if you see my example below, where searching in a 223-million+ rows table takes a tenth of a millisecond).

PostgreSQL index-type docs here.

I'm just reacting to the juxtaposition of sqlite and postgres; really: SQLite, handy as it often is, can not be compared with a powerful database system like postgresql.

(And I should really try & compare Your Mother's example with KinoSearch, and see if he is right; maybe in the weekend... )

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
