Maintaining text indexes

This chapter describes how to maintain text indexes and get useful information about them. The maintenance tasks are:

  1. Updating and reorganizing a text index
  2. Altering a text index
  3. Deleting index update events
  4. Dropping a text index
  5. Showing index status

You can run these tasks at any time and in any sequence. The chapter also includes information on how to back up and restore indexes and enabled databases.

For commands that display information on text indexes, directory names, and updates, see Appendix C. Net Search Extender information catalogs.

You can also maintain a text index by using the DB2 Control Center. See Maintaining a text index.
