Обсуждение: REINDEX VERBOSE DATABASE not working

Hello %

Regarding the Docs

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-reindex.html

and due to the REINDEX syntax, I should be able to specify VERBOSE when I run the REINDEX command, to print a progress report.

(postgres@[local]:55000)[knowledgebase]> \h REINDEX

Command:     REINDEX

Description: rebuild indexes

Syntax:

REINDEX [ ( VERBOSE ) ] { INDEX | TABLE | SCHEMA | DATABASE | SYSTEM } name

But it is not working.

(postgres@[local]:55000)[knowledgebase]> REINDEX VERBOSE DATABASE knowledgebase;

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "VERBOSE"

LINE 1: REINDEX VERBOSE DATABASE knowledgebase;

                ^

Can somebody help me out regarding this issue.

Cheers

William

I forgot to mention the version.

It is PostgreSQL 11.4 on Redhat 7.6

Thanks for clarification. The REINDEX (VERBOSE) DATABASE xxx; works.

However, the syntax is not intuitive, from my point of view.

And TAB completion does not show you the (VERBOSE) option either.

e.g. if you press two times TAB, it does not show you the VERBOSE option

(postgres@[local]:55000)[knowledgebase]> REINDEX [TAB] [TAB]

DATABASE  INDEX     SCHEMA    SYSTEM    TABLE

Would it not be possible to allow 2 options. One with (VERBOSE) for backward compatibility and one with VERBOSE

Hello David

Yes, I did read the thread. However, I still don’t see the advantage of running:

REINDEX ( VERBOSE ) DATABASE xxx;

Instead of:

REINDEX VERBOSE DATABASE xxx;

And coming back to the TAB completion thing, which is a fantastic feature, by the way, does not show you the option

which comes in parentheses. I don’t know if this is by design or not.

>REINDEX [TAB] [TAB]

DATABASE  INDEX     SCHEMA    SYSTEM    TABLE

I would expect with the current syntax implementation:

>REINDEX [TAB] [TAB]

(VERBOSE)    DATABASE  INDEX     SCHEMA    SYSTEM    TABLE

Nevertheless, thanks  everyone.

I think I will switch to the command line tool reindexdb. ;-) This one is more intuitive from my point of view:

reindexdb --verbose --dbname=xxx

Cheers,

William
