Hi Yessica, Postgres 8.3 is very old, If you are using that simply because of the index advisor there are a few more “modern” options.
I at the time wrote such a tool for Postgres 9.4 (it has many features that the one by Gurjeet didn’t have like CTE and partial indexes support) Alas I didn’t have a chance to update it to 9.6 & 10 as there were many breaking changes. https://github.com/cohenjo/pg_idx_advisor <https://github.com/cohenjo/pg_idx_advisor> And there is even a newer module to generate hypothetical indexes to allow you to test various options before building the actual index: https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg <https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg> You are missing so much functionality and features that any improvements you get by a better index recommendation will still be slower then running a new version with less optimal indexes. I would consider using a new version.
