The core PostgreSQL distribution includes the SP-GiST operator classes shown in Table 63.1.
Table 63.1. Built-in SP-GiST Operator Classes
| Name | Indexed Data Type | Indexable Operators | 
|---|---|---|
| kd_point_ops | point | <<<@<^>>>^~= | 
| quad_point_ops | point | <<<@<^>>>^~= | 
| range_ops | any range type | &&&<&>-|-<<<@=>>@> | 
| box_ops | box | <<&<&&&>>>~=@><@&<|<<||>>|&> | 
| text_ops | text | <<==>>=~<=~~<~~>=~~>~ | 
| inet_ops | inet,cidr | &&>>>>=>>=<><<<<=<<== | 
  Of the two operator classes for type point,
  quad_point_ops is the default.  kd_point_ops
  supports the same operators but uses a different index data structure which
  may offer better performance in some applications.
