Postgres是否自动将索引放在外键和主键上?我怎么知道呢?是否有返回表上所有索引的命令?

下面是一个bash脚本,它使用@sergeyB的SQL生成SQL,为外键上缺失的索引创建索引。

PostgreSQL自动在主键和唯一约束上创建索引,但不会在外键关系的引用端创建索引。

当Pg创建一个隐式索引时,它将发出一个notice级别的消息,您可以在psql和/或系统日志中看到该消息,因此您可以看到它何时发生。自动创建的索引在表的\d输出中也是可见的。

关于唯一索引的文档说:

PostgreSQL自动为每个唯一的约束和主键约束创建索引,以加强唯一性。因此,没有必要显式地为主键列创建索引。

约束条件的文档说:

从引用表中的一行的DELETE或引用表中的UPDATE开始 所引用的列需要对引用表进行扫描 与旧值匹配的行,通常是一个好主意 引用列。因为这并不总是需要的,而且有 关于如何索引、声明外键有许多选择 约束不会自动在引用上创建索引 列。

因此,如果需要外键,就必须自己创建索引。

注意,如果使用主外键,比如在M-to-N表中使用2个FK作为PK,您将在PK上有一个索引,可能不需要创建任何额外的索引。

虽然在引用端外键列上创建索引(或包含)通常是个好主意,但这并不是必需的。您添加的每个索引都会略微降低DML操作的速度,因此在每次INSERT、UPDATE或DELETE上都要付出性能代价。如果索引很少被使用,那么它可能就不值得拥有。

下面是一个bash脚本,它使用@sergeyB的SQL生成SQL,为外键上缺失的索引创建索引。

该查询将列出外键上缺失的索引,原始源。

编辑:注意它不会检查小表(小于9 MB)和其他一些情况。参见最后的WHERE语句。

是-主键,否-外键(更多在文档中)。

\d <table_name>

在“psql”中显示了一个表的描述,包括它的所有索引。

如果你想列出程序模式中所有表的索引,所有信息都在目录中:

select
     n.nspname  as "Schema"
    ,t.relname  as "Table"
    ,c.relname  as "Index"
from
          pg_catalog.pg_class c
     join pg_catalog.pg_namespace n on n.oid        = c.relnamespace
     join pg_catalog.pg_index i     on i.indexrelid = c.oid
     join pg_catalog.pg_class t     on i.indrelid   = t.oid
where
        c.relkind = 'i'
    and n.nspname not in ('pg_catalog', 'pg_toast')
    and pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
order by
     n.nspname
    ,t.relname
    ,c.relname

如果想深入研究(如列和排序),需要查看pg_catalog.pg_index。使用psql -E [dbname]可以方便地了解如何查询编目。
