Hi, ALL,
Is there a better place to get the info about the index other than
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/view-pg-indexes.html

That guy has a full blown CREATE INDEX command and I will need to
parse it to get the info I need.

Thank you.

FYI,

pg_class:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-class.html

and pg_attribute:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-attribute.html

also have index information.

pg_index is the real source of truth here.
