The access method name must be unique within the database.
Only superusers can define new access methods.
Parametersname
The name of the access method to be created.
access_method_type
This clause specifies the type of access method to define. Only TABLE
and INDEX
are supported at present.
handler_function
handler_function
is the name (possibly schema-qualified) of a previously registered function that represents the access method. The handler function must be declared to take a single argument of type internal
, and its return type depends on the type of access method; for TABLE
access methods, it must be table_am_handler
and for INDEX
access methods, it must be index_am_handler
. The C-level API that the handler function must implement varies depending on the type of access method. The table access method API is described in Chapter 62 and the index access method API is described in Chapter 63.
