Starting postgres with -P was something that I did not try. Does postgres have any GIN or GIST system indexes though? I would love to try it out, but the database has already been restored. Will definitely keep this in mind for the future though. Thanks again for the help, -- Robert Sosinski I wonder if there is a column in pg catalog, that indicates the type of the index. I couldn't find one. So, I ran the following sql trying to find system indexes of gin or gist type: select * from pg_indexes where schemaname = 'pg_catalog' and (indexdef like '%USING gist%' OR indexdef like '%USING gin%'); and it returned zero rows.
