[QGIS-Developer] Fwd: My PostgreSQL/PostGIS function to create all missing spatial indexes

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Good morning Michaël, Loïc,

Add PostGIS Table(s) dialogue already shows our spatial enabled tables.

We might just add another column to show if that geometry column is
already indexed or not. We can add another action button to create it,
enabled if missing.

I've added a very simple mockup in this gist [1].

This approach is more simple to implement, I think. It can be applied to
other providers as well.

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo
