I just want to migrate my application from MYSQL to PostgreSQL. I am stuck at one point,

  INDEX vq_pollid(pollId),
  INDEX vq_sequence(sequenceNumOnTarget),
  INDEX vq_icp(icpName)
);

This is my table definition in MySQL and now I want to convert it to PostgreSQL.

But can’t find a DDL statement suitable to ‘create table and indexing both with one single query’ in PostgreSQL.

Can anyone help..

    I don’t believe you can add indexes (other than those created implicitly to enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints) as part of a CREATE TABLE statement in PostgreSQL.

    There is no real need to do so however. If you want to make sure that the indexes are created before anybody can see (and hence use) the table then just create the table and the indexes all inside a single transaction and only commit the transaction when you are ready for the table to be used.

    That won’t work in MySQL because schema changes happen outside any transactions, even if using an engine that normally supports them. It should work in PostgreSQL though.
