Everything else was created manually. Also, *none* of those index names match what Postgres would choose of its own accord. The built-in naming schemes can be exhibited thus: regression=# create table foo (f1 int primary key, f2 int unique, f3 int); CREATE TABLE regression=# create index on foo(f3); CREATE INDEX regression=# \d foo Table "public.foo" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+---------+----------- f1 | integer | not null f2 | integer | f3 | integer | Indexes: "foo_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (f1) "foo_f2_key" UNIQUE CONSTRAINT, btree (f2) "foo_f3_idx" btree (f3) There's some additional rules for abbreviating very long derived index names, and for dealing with index name collisions, but none of those would have come into play here. The index names Daniel shows must all have been specified in DDL commands, either as the name of a constraint or as the name of an index. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
