Updated text for bitmaps:

<   Bitmap indexes index single columns that can be combined with other bitmap
<   indexes to dynamically create a composite index to match a specific query.
<   Each index is a bitmap, and the bitmaps are bitwise AND'ed or OR'ed to be
<   combined.  They can index by tid or can be lossy requiring a scan of the
<   heap page to find matching rows, or perhaps use a mixed solution where
<   tids are recorded for pages with only a few matches and per-page bitmaps
<   are used for more dense pages.  Another idea is to use a 32-bit bitmap
<   for every page and set a bit based on the item number mod(32).

>   This feature allows separate indexes to be ANDed or ORed together.  This
>   is particularly useful for data warehousing applications that need to
>   query the database in an many permutations.  This feature scans an index
>   and creates an in-memory bitmap, and allows that bitmap to be combined
>   with other bitmap created in a similar way.  The bitmap can either index
>   all TIDs, or be lossy, meaning it records just page numbers and each
