   Bitmap indexes index single columns that can be combined with other bitmap
   indexes to dynamically create a composite index to match a specific query.
   Each index is a bitmap, and the bitmaps are bitwise AND'ed or OR'ed to be
-  combined.  Such indexes could be more compact if there are few unique
