Thread: Creating indices on foreign keys

Creating indices on foreign keys

Hi All,

I think PostgreSQL does not create indexes on foreign keys of a table,
and I have to do so explicitly. That means, wherever I am using master-
detail table, I have to create explicit indexes on the foreign key in
the detail table. Am I wrong?

thanks
Sanjay

Refering the discussion here, I assume I am correct:
