<title>Limitations</title>
<para>
The current implementation of <acronym>GiST</acronym> within
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has some major limitations:
<acronym>GiST</acronym> index access is not concurrent, and the
<acronym>GiST</acronym> interface doesn't allow the development of certain
data types, such as digital trees (see papers by Aoki et al).
</para>
<para>
Solutions to the concurrency problems appear in Marcel Kornacker's
thesis; however these ideas have not yet been put into practice in the
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> implementation.
