Hi,

Thanks depesz!
The reason why I asked was because pgAdmin doesn't display the
automatically created indices, which confused me.

Thanks, Clemens

Its quite harsh to imply I didn't look for documentation.
I looked at the "Indexes and ORDER BY" which doesn't mention it, or
I've overlook it.
Doesn't make a difference anyway.

I use Hibernate, and it generates the DDL for me.
Even with debug/DDL/SQL-output enabled, I don't get any hint that an
index was created.
