Thanks for reply Tom and Igor. Just only more information:
I need to know the height of a B-tree index (level of the leaf node farthest from the root). I tried to find this data in PG_INDEXES and PG_CLASS views, but I did not find it. Does anyone know if Postgresql stores this information, referring to the height of the index tree?
