Thank you for such a quick response!

pg_get_indexdef is very helpful:

> select pg_get_indexdef(223630);

pg_get_indexdef
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX
index_user_languages_on_user_id_and_language_id ON user_languages
USING btree (user_id, language_id) WHERE (deleted_at IS NULL)
(1 row)

It'd be great to get just the WHERE clause if possible, although I can
work around it if not. I couldn't find much documentation re
pg_get_expr. Does this message mean I can't use it, or am I just doing
something wrong?:

> select pg_get_expr('{NULLTEST :arg {VAR :varno 1 :varattno 6
:vartype 1114 :vartypmod -1 :varcollid 0 :varlevelsup 0 :varnoold 1
:varoattno 6 :location 128} :nulltesttype 0 :argisrow false}',
223630);
ERROR: cannot accept a value of type pg_node_tree
LINE 1: select pg_get_expr('{NULLTEST :arg {VAR :varno 1 :varattno 6...

Thank you for your help!
Paul
