Thanks Can you think of a way to select all the indexes programmatically from a table and run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY for each of them, so that I don't have to hardcode every index name + create statement ?

Once a day I would like to reindex my database (and maybe re cluster it - don't know if that's worth it yet?). I need the database to be usable while doing this (both read and write). I see that there is no way to REINDEX CONCURRENTLY - So what approach would you suggest that I take on this? > > If you have the diskspaec, it's generally a good idea to do a CREATE > INDEX CONCURRENTLY, and then rename the new one into place (typically > in a transaction).
