reindexdbNamereindexdb -- reindex a EnterpriseDB database Synopsisreindexdb [connection-option...] [--table | -t table ] [--index | -i index ] [dbname]
reindexdb [connection-option...] [--all | -a]
reindexdb [connection-option...] [--system | -s] [dbname] Description reindexdb is a utility for rebuilding indexes
in a EnterpriseDB database.
reindexdb is a wrapper around the SQL
command REINDEX.
There is no effective difference between reindexing databases via
this utility and via other methods for accessing the server.
Options reindexdb accepts the following command-line arguments:
- -a
--all Reindex all databases.
- -s
--system Reindex database's system catalogs.
- -t table
--table table Reindex table only.
- -i index
--index index Recreate index only.
- [-d] dbname
[--dbname] dbname Specifies the name of the database to be reindexed.
If this is not specified and -a (or
--all) is not used, the database name is read
from the environment variable PGDATABASE. If
that is not set, the user name specified for the connection is
used.
- -e
--echo Echo the commands that reindexdb generates
and sends to the server.
- -q
--quiet Do not display a response.
reindexdb also accepts
the following command-line arguments for connection parameters:
- -h host
--host host Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is
running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the
directory for the Unix domain socket.
- -p port
--port port Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file
extension on which the server
is listening for connections.
- -U username
--username username User name to connect as.
- -W
--password Force password prompt.
Environment- PGDATABASE
PGHOST
PGPORT
PGUSER Default connection parameters
Diagnostics In case of difficulty, see REINDEX and edb-psql for
discussions of potential problems and error messages.
The database server must be running at the
targeted host.
Notes reindexdb might need to connect several
times to the EnterpriseDB server, asking
for a password each time. It is convenient to have a
~/.pgpass file in such cases.
Examples To reindex the database test:
$ reindexdb test
To reindex the table foo and the index
bar in a database named abcd:
$ reindexdb --table foo --index bar abcd
