I think at least to have an option (maybe not permanent, but something
like menu item 'show all details') would be useful. As for indexes - as
I said, they are needed for understanding planner desicions. As for
other parts (rules, auto-generated triggers etc.) - I don't know.
As for quick solution I would suggest checking with psql - if it can
shows something, then PgAdmin should have an option to show it. I think
many people use psql and it has almost all features needed for working
with PostgreSQL (but it is less convenient than PgAdmin). As for me,
when working with and something seems strange, it is psql where I look
for final answer.
