amprocrighttype oid (references pg_type.oid)

Right-hand input data type of associated operator

amprocnum int2

Support function number

amproc regproc (references pg_proc.oid)

OID of the function


The usual interpretation of the amproclefttype and amprocrighttype fields is that they identify the left and right input types of the operator(s) that a particular support function supports. For some access methods these match the input data type(s) of the support function itself, for others not. There is a notion of default support functions for an index, which are those with amproclefttype and amprocrighttype both equal to the index operator class's opcintype.
