Description
</title>
<para>
<command>REINDEX</command> is used to recover corrupted system indexes.
In order to run REINDEX command, postmaster must be shut down and
stand-alone Postgres should be started instead with options -O and
-P (an option to ignore system indexes). Note that we couldn't rely
on system indexes for the recovery of system indexes.
