Обсуждение: REINDEX problem

Hello,

the maintainance chapter in the docs gave me the impression that a
reindex of some tables would be a good idea. Last night I took the
database down, started up in single user mode and tried to reindex.

The reindex of tables did work fine, but a reindex of the database
did not. Please see a session transscript below.

How can I reindex the database?

TIA

The database name is evidently all upper case, so you need double
quotes:

REINDEX DATABASE "CLIX1"
