Dropping and Re-creating Indexes

Dropping and Re-creating Indexes

After you insert significant amounts of data into a target, you normally need to drop and re-create indexes on that table to optimize query speed. You can drop and re-create indexes by either of the following methods:
  • Using pre- and post-session SQL commands.
    The preferred method for dropping and re-creating indexes is to define a pre-session SQL statement in the Pre SQL property that drops indexes before loading data to the target. Use the Post SQL property to re-create the indexes after loading data to the target. Define pre- and post-session SQL for relational targets in the mapping target properties or on the Mappings tab in the session properties.
  • Using the Designer.
    The same dialog box you use to generate and execute DDL code for table creation can drop and re-create indexes. Every time you run a workflow that modifies the target table, launch the Designer and use this feature when you use this method.
  • Stored procedures.
    You can also use stored procedures to drop and re-create indexes.
