Hi, I can't find the documentation of the ~=~ operator anywhere on the PostgreSQL homepage. I'm quite certain that I saw it there a while ago, though. FYI, I use ~=~ for equality checks, so I can use the same index for equality and regexp pattern matching on a varchar field. The index is built with varchar_pattern_ops.
