"DATABASE
Recreate all indexes within the current database. Indexes on shared
system catalogs are also processed. This form of REINDEX cannot be
executed inside a transaction block.
"
"TABLE
Recreate all indexes of the specified table. If the table has a
secondary “TOAST” table, that is reindexed as well.
"
Database --> Table --> TOAST table.
