< 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).
