Hello,
For a data warehousing project I will have to implement bitmaps.  I would
perfer to stay away from C, Java, etc., and would like to use PostgreSQL
instead.  I have a question about bit string type:  does the time it takes
to do the & or | of two bit strings run in constant time (as it does in
C)?
Thanks,
Yasir
