Hi,

the release notes for PostgreSQL 17.5 (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17-5.html) state:

"Also, if you have any BRIN bloom indexes, it may be advisable to reindex them after updating."

I don't know what exactly that means. So I read about BRIN and BLOOM indexes and learned how to create them using the "USING BRIN..." or "USING BLOOM..." clause. But there is no such thing as "USING BRIN BLOOM" or other variation. After quite some research, I only found that there may be a BRIN and a BLOOM index on the same table, created by two individual CREATE INDEX commands. As I understand, those are the ones referred to in the release notes.

Also, the \di+ command wasn't much of a help in this case. So I came up with the following query which also creates the necessary reindex commands. Please let me know if my query below hits the wanted indexes or not.

I'd be really cool if release notes contained the necessary queries to find the objects in question.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Sorry --- it means BRIN indexes that use one of the "xxx_bloom_ops" opclasses.

Ah, so that'd reduce my monster query to:

select
    concat ('reindex index "', schemaname, '"."', indexname, '";') as reindex_cmd
from
    pg_indexes
where
    indexdef ~ '_bloom_ops';

Thanks very much.

Paul
