DELETE-INDEX

Man Page Index


Called as:

delete-index -Options filename { {indexname {indexname ...}} | *}

Where Options can be:

Option Description
-a delete ALL indexes in the file
S compatible silent option.

This command is called to delete one or more index definitions that are associated with a file. All the space taken by the index is released to the file overflow space (but not necessarily the operating system file free space).

Option -a causes all index definitions to be deleted. Without option -a you need to specify one or more index name on the command line.

Example: Delete ALL the index definitions for file PRODUCTS

jsh--> DELETE-INDEX -a PRODUCTS
jsh--> DELETE-INDEX PRODUCTS *

Example: Delete the index name "value" in the file PRODUCTS

% delete-index PRODUCTS value
