Hi Joshua, I think that it was installed from a RedHat distribution and the installation left out reindexdb from the contrib folder. I will look into this. In the mean time maybe I can ask you: Does VACUUM FULL ANALYZE of a database would also reindex the user indexes of a database? I am trying to eliminate index bloating. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joshua D.

If so... it is in the source tree under contrib. If you are running an RPM it should be in the rpm postgresql-contrib Sincerely, Joshua D.
