Thanks for the kind words!

For anyone interested in how pganalyze's approach compares to this extension (and other alternatives like dexter, or using HypoPG directly), I gave a talk with my colleague Philippe last year at PgCon that describes how we use constraint programming and CP-SAT for dealing with the trade-off between index write overhead and read performance improvement, across multiple queries on a table:

If anyone has some background in optimization and is interested in the more technical side of things, I gave a talk at JOPT 2023, comparing MIP and CP approaches for this problem. The slides can be found here: https://github.com/PhilippeOlivier/jopt2023


This is awesome! Was the talk recording by chance?


Yep, there is a "link to video" link on the talk page - here is the direct link:

We also did a more recent webinar that has some slight revisions on top of that talk, recording available in our docs: https://pganalyze.com/docs/indexing-engine/cp-model


Cheers! I skimmed right over that.
