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
