Title:
Corrupt index how to rebuild safely on large table
I have a foxpro 2.6 table with over 800,000 records in it. When I do a reindex or pack on it, what appears to be an infinite loop of indexing happens. I have let the table reindex for over an hour and it just keeps on reindexing (more than the number of individual indexes on the cdx file). Has anyone seen this behaviour?
What is a safe way to rebuild the CDX? Should I delete all of the indexs (using the table properties screen) then delete the CDX file, then create a new one? Or can I simply delete the CDX? I don't want to corrupt this table.
