HypoPG is a PostgreSQL extension adding support for hypothetical indexes.
An hypothetical, or virtual, index is an index that doesn't really exists, and
An hypothetical -- or virtual -- index is an index that doesn't really exists, and
thus doesn't cost CPU, disk or any resource to create. They're useful to know
if specific indexes can increase performance for problematic queries, since
you can know if PostgreSQL will use these indexes or not without having to
spend resources to create them.

Usage

NOTE: The hypothetical indexes are contained in a single backend. Therefore,
if you add multiple hypothetical indexes, concurrent connexions doing
EXPLAIN won't be bothered by your hypothetical indexes.
