Обсуждение: Reindex + relation doesnt exist
I am trying to reindex some indexes through a batch script. for example Database : hermes Schema : sc1 Indexes : ind1 when i use reindexdb with the following switches ./reindexdb --index=ind1 hermes i get the below error message reindexdb: reindexing of index "ind1" in database "hermes" failed: ERROR: relation "ind1" does not exist when i know that the index does exist, same thing happens if i set up a batch script and call it through psql command using the reindex index ind1; I guess i'm missing something really obvious just need someone to point it out to me !! Any help is much apprciated Thanks Fran

If you append the schema to the name does it work?

Which i guess relates to the search path that you mentioned in your post...just dont understand why the above command doesnt work. Thanks Fran

You didn't say where you are inserting the non-default schema path into your interactive sessions... regards, tom lane

Just that i need to run the job out of hours as i cant afford the table to be locked through work hours and the index seems to have swelled to 3GB even though the table is only 1GB thanks again for the help Fran
