Thread Increasing of file size when rebuilding indexes
Tue, Jan 8 2008 6:47 AMPermanent Link

"Burkhard Schneider"
Hi,

I noticed that everytime I rebuild my indexes the file size the idx-file
increases by about 100 kB.

I use this code:

   DeleteAllIndexes;
   AddIndex('', 'ID', [ixPrimary, ixUnique]);
   AddIndex('INrMonatPrjTeillst', 'NR;MONAT;PROJ_NR;TEILLEIST');
   AddIndex('INr', 'NR');
   AddIndex('IKosten', 'KOSTEN');
   AddIndex('IPrjNr', 'PROJ_NR');
   AddIndex('IMonat', 'MONAT');

The Table has 6249 records.

Does this have a specific reason? Is there anything I can do against it?

What happens if you do an optimise afterwards?

This is possible due to the way the indexes are rebuilt.

Then the size shrinks to it's original value again. OK, I can live with
that.
