The reason I'm asking: I'm maintaining a JDBC based SQL client which is
also displaying index information (including the SQL to re-create them)

Currently the information returned by the driver is not enough to fully
re-create those index definitions.

So I'll have to maintain Postgres specific code for this, which is not a
big deal (for displaying the DDL I now use pg_indexes which contains the
correct SQL)

It surely isn't a big thing, and probably doesn't affect 99% of the
users, but still I thought I bring this topic up.

Thanks for your time.
