Hi all,
recently we have had the problem of rebuilding the spatial index of a feature class storaged in ArcSDE.
Various approaches reached us, it worked following SDE command line:
sdelayer �??o load_only_io , sdelayer �??o normal_io
But I wonder if there is a difference between this sde command above and these toolbox means which ArcGIS offers:
Data Management Tools: Indexes:remove spatial index, add spatial index
We have got the explanation that with the sde command only the feature class extent of index will be recalculated.
Could anybody confirm this? I find the Toolbox help unclear in this case.
Otherwise I assume feature class extent and spatial index belong together.
You can't rebuild a spatial index without rebuilding the extent of a feature class, can you?
Many thanks in advance, Sandra
