Missing_Indexes_Generate_Script

## Name

Missing_Indexes_Generate_Script — Finds all tables with key columns used in geocoder joins that are missing indexes on those columns and will output the SQL DDL to define the index for those tables.

## Synopsis

`text Missing_Indexes_Generate_Script(``)`;

## Description

Finds all tables in `tiger` and `tiger_data` schemas with key columns used in geocoder joins that are missing indexes on those columns and will output the SQL DDL to define the index for those tables. This is a helper function that adds new indexes needed to make queries faster that may have been missing during the load process. As the geocoder is improved, this function will be updated to accommodate new indexes being used. If this function outputs nothing, it means all your tables have what we think are the key indexes already in place.

Availability: 2.0.0

## Examples

    SELECT missing_indexes_generate_script();
    -- output: This was run on a database that was created before many corrections were made to the loading script ---
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_county_countyfp ON tiger.county USING btree(countyfp);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_cousub_countyfp ON tiger.cousub USING btree(countyfp);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_edges_tfidr ON tiger.edges USING btree(tfidr);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_edges_tfidl ON tiger.edges USING btree(tfidl);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_zip_lookup_all_zip ON tiger.zip_lookup_all USING btree(zip);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_data_ma_county_countyfp ON tiger_data.ma_county USING btree(countyfp);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_data_ma_cousub_countyfp ON tiger_data.ma_cousub USING btree(countyfp);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_data_ma_edges_countyfp ON tiger_data.ma_edges USING btree(countyfp);
    CREATE INDEX idx_tiger_data_ma_faces_countyfp ON tiger_data.ma_faces USING btree(countyfp);
