From reading the doc, it is of significant note that it's expensive to maintain that index, as it needs to be re-computed for every insert and update. It's not something to take lightly. However, it might make sense to do this on a relatively static database, or one in which the maintainence time is irrelevant, but access time is key. thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]
