Personally I'd rely on the table OID columns (relid) to join the two pg_stat views. If you want to join to pg_indexes it looks like you need to compare all of schemaname, tablename, indexname to be safe. But really you could skip that join and just use pg_get_indexdef(indexrelid). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
