integers. In practice the default operator class for the field's
111
111
datatype is usually sufficient. The main point of having operator classes
112
112
is that for some datatypes, there could be more than one meaningful
113
- ordering. For an index on such a datatype, we could select which
114
- ordering we wanted by selecting the proper operator class. There
115
- are also some operator classes with special purposes:
113
+ ordering. For example, we might want to sort a complex-number datatype
114
+ either by absolute value or by real part. We could do this by defining
115
+ two operator classes for the datatype and then selecting the proper
116
+ class when making an index. There are also some operator classes with
