Extracting Index Creation Script

If you know the index name then:
SELECT pg_get_indexdef('your_index_name'::regclass)
will do.

In case you want a full list of indices for a certain table:
SELECT c2.relname, pg_get_indexdef(i.indexrelid, 0, true), c2.reltablespace
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c, pg_catalog.pg_class c2, pg_catalog.pg_index i
WHERE c.oid = 'your_table_name'::regclass AND c.oid = i.indrelid AND
i.indexrelid = c2.oid

If you have more questions of that kind try starting psql with -E option
which enables internal queries' display (this is what I did).

Hello,

I answered my own question. :) I continued looking last night after I
posted this and found a really easy way to get this info...

select * from pg_indexes
where tablename like 'YOURTABLENAME'

This will give you the DDL to create your indexes.

Regards,

Paul

Hello,

Does anyone have any good code to extract the metadata needed to create
indexes on a specific table? The Client Tools (like pgadmin-III) presents
that code so I'm sure it's extractable but could not find it in my trace
that I ran while operating pgadmin...

Thanks in advance,

Paul
