一些样本数据…

create table test (a int, b int, c int, constraint pk_test primary key(a, b));
create table test2 (a int, b int, c int, constraint uk_test2 unique (b, c));
create table test3 (a int, b int, c int, constraint uk_test3b unique (b), constraint uk_test3c unique (c), constraint uk_test3ab unique (a, b));

使用pg_get_indexdef函数:

select pg_get_indexdef(indexrelid) from pg_index where indrelid = 'test'::regclass;

                    pg_get_indexdef
--------------------------------------------------------
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX pk_test ON test USING btree (a, b)
(1 row)


select pg_get_indexdef(indexrelid) from pg_index where indrelid = 'test2'::regclass;
                     pg_get_indexdef
----------------------------------------------------------
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX uk_test2 ON test2 USING btree (b, c)
(1 row)


select pg_get_indexdef(indexrelid) from pg_index where indrelid ='test3'::regclass;
                      pg_get_indexdef
------------------------------------------------------------
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX uk_test3b ON test3 USING btree (b)
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX uk_test3c ON test3 USING btree (c)
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX uk_test3ab ON test3 USING btree (a, b)
(3 rows)

如果你想保持索引中的列顺序，这里有一个(非常丑陋的)方法:

select table_name,
    index_name,
    array_agg(column_name)
from (
    select
        t.relname as table_name,
        i.relname as index_name,
        a.attname as column_name,
        unnest(ix.indkey) as unn,
        a.attnum
    from
        pg_class t,
        pg_class i,
        pg_index ix,
        pg_attribute a
    where
        t.oid = ix.indrelid
        and i.oid = ix.indexrelid
        and a.attrelid = t.oid
        and a.attnum = ANY(ix.indkey)
        and t.relkind = 'r'
        and t.relnamespace = <oid of the schema you're interested in>
    order by
        t.relname,
        i.relname,
        generate_subscripts(ix.indkey,1)) sb
where unn = attnum
group by table_name, index_name

列顺序存储在pg_index中。indkey列，我是根据这个数组的下标排序的。

延伸到@Cope360的好答案。要获取某个表(如果它们是相同的表名但不同的模式)，只需使用表OID。

select
     t.relname as table_name
    ,i.relname as index_name
    ,a.attname as column_name
    ,a.attrelid tableid

from
    pg_class t,
    pg_class i,
    pg_index ix,
    pg_attribute a
where
    t.oid = ix.indrelid
    and i.oid = ix.indexrelid
    and a.attrelid = t.oid
    and a.attnum = ANY(ix.indkey)
    and t.relkind = 'r'
    -- and t.relname like 'tbassettype'
    and a.attrelid = '"dbLegal".tbassettype'::regclass
order by
    t.relname,
    i.relname;

解释:我有表名'tbassettype'在两个模式'dbAsset'和'dbLegal'。要在dbLegal上只获取表，只需让a.attrelid =它的OID。

查询结果:

table |     column     |          type          | notnull |  index_name  | is_index | primarykey | uniquekey | default
-------+----------------+------------------------+---------+--------------+----------+-   -----------+-----------+---------

(3 rows)

查询:

JOIN pg_class c ON c.oid = f.attrelid  
JOIN pg_type t ON t.oid = f.atttypid  
LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d ON d.adrelid = c.oid AND d.adnum = f.attnum  
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace  
LEFT JOIN pg_constraint p ON p.conrelid = c.oid AND f.attnum = ANY (p.conkey)  
LEFT JOIN pg_class AS g ON p.confrelid = g.oid
LEFT JOIN pg_index AS ix ON f.attnum = ANY(ix.indkey) and c.oid = f.attrelid and c.oid = ix.indrelid 
LEFT JOIN pg_class AS i ON ix.indexrelid = i.oid 

WHERE c.relkind = 'r'::char  
AND n.nspname = 'public'  -- Replace with Schema name

AND f.attnum > 0
ORDER BY c.relname,f.attname;

也许您希望获得实际的CREATE INDEX语句，以便您可以删除它们并在以后作为管理流程的一部分重新创建(这是我的情况)。在这种情况下，您可以使用pg_dump仅转储post-data部分，然后从其中grep 'CREATE INDEX'。

PGPASSWORD=<pwd> pg_dump --host <host> --port <port> -U <user> -d <database> --section=post-data > post-data.sql
grep 'CREATE INDEX' postdata.sql > create_index.sql

这可能是有帮助的，因为一些索引可能很难重新创建，例如那些使用特定op类的索引(例如gin_trgm_ops)或其他一些 我通常很难重新开始。

\d table_name显示了来自psql的这些信息，但是如果你想使用SQL从数据库中获取这些信息，那么可以看看从PostgreSQL中提取META信息。

我在我的实用程序中使用这些信息来报告来自db schema的一些信息，以比较测试和生产环境中的PostgreSQL数据库。
