SHOW INDEXES

Use the SHOW INDEXES command to view indexes from a particular table.

Syntax

SHOW INDEXES FROM table_name [ LIKE_expression ];

Parameters

ParameterDescription
table_nameThe table from which indexes will be displayed.
LIKE_expressionFilters the output based on names by applying pattern matching. See details in LIKE pattern matching expressions.

Example

We can create a table t3 and an index idx1 on t3.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t3 (
v1 int,
v2 int,
v3 int);

CREATE INDEX idx1 ON t3 (v1,v2);

Next, we can use the SHOW INDEXES command on t3 to see existing indexes.

SHOW INDEXES FROM t3;
 Name | On |      Key       | Include | Distributed By 
------+----+----------------+---------+----------------
idx1 | t3 | v1 ASC, v2 ASC | v3 | v1, v2
(1 row)
