Removing a Virtual Index

In the Data Replication Console, you can remove a virtual index that you previously defined for a source database table.

On the

Map Tables

tab, select the mapped source table from which to remove the virtual index.

Click the

Show Indexes

icon button above the source tables filter field, or right-click a mapped source table and click

Show Indexes

The

Indexes

dialog box appears and lists all of the indexes that are defined for the table.

Select the index to remove in the upper list box and click
