hi list,

currently i am switching from mysql to pgsql, so i am a bit new to postgres' syntax.

at the moment i am looking in postgres for something which is similar to SHOW INDEX FROM [table] in mysql. unfortunately i could not find anything satisfying relating to this issue. 

i have found out, that there is the -di option with psql.

but actually i would need the information from within a (postgres) sql-query. is there a possibility to get information about the indices which have been created on a table?

if there is not, it might be sufficient for me to get the create index strings, such like you get, when viewing a table in pgAdmin:

-- Index: g_g114_b_idx

-- DROP INDEX g_g114_b_idx;

CREATE INDEX g_g114_b_idx
  ON g_g114
  USING btree
  (b);

and parse them manually.

is that possible in any way?

maybe there is something similar to SHOW CREATE TABLE (as in MySQL) in postgresql.


thanks in advance,

stefan
