Common Usage

REINDEX collation_name;
REINDEX database_name.table_name;
REINDEX database_name.index_name;

Description

The REINDEX command deletes the data within an index and rebuilds the index structure from the source table data. The table referenced by the index is not changed.

REINDEX is most frequently used when the definition of a collation sequence has changed and all of the indexes that use that collation must be rebuilt. This ensures that the index order correctly matches the order defined by the collation.

If a collation name is provided, all indexes that use that collation, in all attached databases, will be reindexed. If a table name is given, all the indexes associated with that table will be reindexed. If a specific index name is given, just that index will be rebuilt.
