Re: CLUSTER. (fwd)

I apologize for my earlier posting. I misinterpreted the term "clustered index".
It's done with CLUSTER indeed. Everything is copied in a temp table which is later renamed to the original table, so all grant perimissions and indeces are lost on this table. Also keep in mind that you'll get new OIDs too (if you are depending on them)

sorry,
thalis

Read what the command CLUSTER does. Definately not what you think.
You create clustered indeces as you would any index:
create index lala_idx on lala (col1,col2,...);
