I’m troubleshooting a schema and found this:

Indexes:
     "pk_patient_diagnoses" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
     "index_4341548" UNIQUE, btree (id)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_deleted" btree (deleted)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_diagnosis_type_id" btree (diagnosis_type_id)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_icd10" btree (icd10)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_icd9" btree (diagnosis_code)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_is_unknown" btree (is_unknown)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_modified" btree (modified)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_patient_id" btree (patient_id)
     "idx_patient_diagnoses_uuid" btree (uuid)
     "index_325532921" btree (modified)
     "index_4345603" btree (deleted)
     "index_4349516" btree (diagnosis_type_id)
     "index_4353417" btree (icd10)
     "index_4384754" btree (diagnosis_code)
     "index_4418849" btree (is_unknown)
     "index_4424101" btree (patient_id)
     "index_4428458" btree (uuid)

My questions is whether these “index_*” indexes could have been created by 
postgresql or whether I have an errant developer using some kinda third-party 
tool?

The only index that Postgres "automatically" creates is the unique index 
supporting a primary key or a unique constraint.

But apart from that, Postgres never creates indexes on its own.

So from the list above, only pk_patient_diagnose has (most probably) been 
created automatically. Everything else was created manually.
