Ugh. I was afraid you were going to say that... Seriously, there's no way to just 'wildcard' ALL indexes, someone should add that as a feature request. We're using 4.0.17 BTW.
What happens if I list out all the indexes that there _could_ be in one ALTER line like that, and one of the indexes doesn't actually exist? Will the whole ALTER fail? Here's the situation, I wrote a script that runs recursively through a directory and applies all the .sql files it finds (in alpha order). This script runs as part of a client update, and doesn't necessarily run the same number of times for everyone. So, some clients may have extra indexes: foo_1, foo_2, foo_3, ... foo_15 etc. (the problem at hand), and other clients may just have: foo_1, foo_2, foo_3. > -----Original Message----- > From: Victoria Reznichenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 12:48 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Drop all keys / indexes on a table? > > "Daevid Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It has come to my attention that we have maxed out our keys > due to a stupid > > update script bug.
