◆ tbox_index_leaf_consistent()

bool tbox_index_leaf_consistent	(	const TBox *	key,
		const TBox *	query,
		StrategyNumber	strategy
	)

Leaf consistency for temporal numbers.

Basic routines for indexing temporal values.

Since temporal boxes do not distinguish between inclusive and exclusive bounds, it is necessary to generalize the tests, e.g.,

left : (box1->xmax < box2->xmin) => (box1->xmax <= box2->xmin) e.g., to take into account left([a,b],(b,c])
right : (box1->xmin > box2->xmax) => (box1->xmin >= box2->xmax) e.g., to take into account right((b,c],[a,b]) and similarly for before and after
Parameters

[in] key Element in the index

[in] query Value being looked up in the index

[in] strategy Operator of the operator class being applied

Note
This function is used for both GiST and SP-GiST indexes
