hi,
when trying to insert a long-long value, I get the following error:
index row size 3120 exceeds maximum 2712 for index
"ir_translation_ltns"
HINT: Values larger than 1/3 of a buffer page cannot be indexed.
Consider a function index of an MD5 hash of the value, or use
full text indexing.
is there a way to generate this recommended function index of an
md5 hash on an already existing database and tables (filled with
data)?
Just create index this way, e.g.
CREATE INDEX ir_translation_ltns ON tab ((md5(col)));
where "tab" and "col" are table and column of which you want
to create btree index.
This probably goes without saying, but you'll have to use col =
md5('blahblahblahblah') in your qualifiers to get the benefit of the
index.

Unless the point is to guarantee uniqueness of the "long-long value"s.
