Disable and rebuild an index in HSQLDB

Question

I would like to disable (and later rebuild) all indexes for a given table in an HSQLDB. I know this feature from SQL Server, where you can just write

ALTER INDEX ALL ON MyTable DISABLE;

to disable all indexes for a table and then rebuild them with

ALTER INDEX ALL ON MyTable REBUILD;

I am not even sure, if HSQLDB supports disabling and enabling a single index.

Answer 1

HSQLDB does not have this feature.

You can perform SHUTDOWN COMPACT to recreate all indexes on all tables.

Answer 2

I do not think this is indeed supported. However you can drop index and then create it again. Something like this:

DROP INDEX index [IF EXISTS];
ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE ADD INDEX MY_INDEX

Take a look on this doc for more info.
