# 67.2. Built-in Operator Classes

The core PostgreSQL distribution includes the BRIN operator classes shown in [Table 67.1](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/brin-builtin-opclasses.html#BRIN-BUILTIN-OPCLASSES-TABLE).

The *minmax* operator classes store the minimum and the maximum values appearing in the indexed column within the range. The *inclusion* operator classes store a value which includes the values in the indexed column within the range.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.postgresql.tw/14/internals/brin/built-in-operator-classes.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
