    Cannot wait for OrioldeDB to reach General Availability. Postgres needs options for open-source separation of storage and compute.

    "Bridged Indexes" is a non-standard term. These are just secondary indexes using logical pointers with a mapping index. IIRC, Oracle, Hana, and HyPer do the same thing.
