indexrelid oid (references pg_class .oid ) The OID of the pg_class entry for this index |
indrelid oid (references pg_class .oid ) The OID of the pg_class entry for the table this index is for |
indnatts int2 The total number of columns in the index (duplicates pg_class.relnatts ); this number includes both key and included attributes |
indnkeyatts int2 The number of key columns in the index, not counting any included columns, which are merely stored and do not participate in the index semantics |
indisunique bool If true, this is a unique index |
indisprimary bool If true, this index represents the primary key of the table (indisunique should always be true when this is true) |
indisexclusion bool If true, this index supports an exclusion constraint |
indimmediate bool If true, the uniqueness check is enforced immediately on insertion (irrelevant if indisunique is not true) |
indisclustered bool If true, the table was last clustered on this index |
indisvalid bool If true, the index is currently valid for queries. False means the index is possibly incomplete: it must still be modified by INSERT /UPDATE operations, but it cannot safely be used for queries. If it is unique, the uniqueness property is not guaranteed true either. |
indcheckxmin bool If true, queries must not use the index until the xmin of this pg_index row is below their TransactionXmin event horizon, because the table may contain broken HOT chains with incompatible rows that they can see |
indisready bool If true, the index is currently ready for inserts. False means the index must be ignored by INSERT /UPDATE operations. |
indislive bool If false, the index is in process of being dropped, and should be ignored for all purposes (including HOT-safety decisions) |
indisreplident bool If true this index has been chosen as “replica identity” using ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX ... |
indkey int2vector (references pg_attribute .attnum ) This is an array of indnatts values that indicate which table columns this index indexes. For example a value of 1 3 would mean that the first and the third table columns make up the index entries. Key columns come before non-key (included) columns. A zero in this array indicates that the corresponding index attribute is an expression over the table columns, rather than a simple column reference. |
indcollation oidvector (references pg_collation .oid ) For each column in the index key (indnkeyatts values), this contains the OID of the collation to use for the index, or zero if the column is not of a collatable data type. |
indclass oidvector (references pg_opclass .oid ) For each column in the index key (indnkeyatts values), this contains the OID of the operator class to use. See pg_opclass for details. |
indoption int2vector This is an array of indnkeyatts values that store per-column flag bits. The meaning of the bits is defined by the index's access method. |
indexprs pg_node_tree Expression trees (in nodeToString() representation) for index attributes that are not simple column references. This is a list with one element for each zero entry in indkey . Null if all index attributes are simple references. |
indpred pg_node_tree Expression tree (in nodeToString() representation) for partial index predicate. Null if not a partial index. |
