Specify methods for use in index creation

Question

Using PostGIS, you may create an index with the following;

CREATE INDEX mytable_gix
ON mytable
USING GIST (myCol);

Using JOOQ, I have access to methods such as createIndexIfNotExists

How can I maintain the method usage USING GIST with something like;

dslContext
.createIndexIfNotExists("table_gix")
.on("table")
.execute();

As of jOOQ 3.13, this syntax is not supported in the DSL API yet. You'll have to roll your own, using plain SQL templating:

dslContext.execute("create index mytable_gix on mytable using gist (mycol)");

If you have generated objects from your schema that you'd like to reuse, use the templating features:

dslContext.execute(
  "create index {0} on {1} using gist ({2})", 
  name("mytable_gix"),
  MYTABLE,
  MYTABLE.MYCOL.getUnqualifiedName()
);
