function db_index_exists

db_index_exists($table, $name)

Checks if an index exists in the given table.

Parameters

string $table: The name of the table in drupal (no prefixing).

string $name: The name of the index in drupal (no prefixing).

Return value

bool TRUE if the given index exists, otherwise FALSE.

Deprecated

as of Drupal 8.0.x, will be removed in Drupal 9.0.0. Instead, get a database connection injected into your service from the container, get its schema driver, and call indexExists() on it. For example, $injected_database->schema()->indexExists($table, $name);
