List columns with indexes in PostgreSQL

Question

I would like to get the columns that an index is on in PostgreSQL.

In MySQL you can use SHOW INDEXES FOR table and look at the Column_name

Answer 1

Please try the query below to drill down to required index's

Query as below -- i have tried this personally and use it frequently.

SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
  c.relname as "Name",
  CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'i' 
THEN 'index' WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' WHEN 's' THEN 'special' END as "Type",
  u.usename as "Owner",
 c2.relname as "Table"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
     JOIN pg_catalog.pg_index i ON i.indexrelid = c.oid
     JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class c2 ON i.indrelid = c2.oid
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_user u ON u.usesysid = c.relowner
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relkind IN ('i','')
      AND n.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'pg_toast')
      AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
      AND c2.relname like '%agg_transaction%' --table name
      AND nspname = 'edjus' -- schema name 
ORDER BY 1,2;
