ALTER INDEX
Use the ALTER INDEX
SQL statement to modify an existing hybrid vector index.
Purpose
To make changes to hybrid vector indexes.
Syntax
ALTER INDEX [schema.]index_name REBUILD
[PARAMETERS('UPDATE VECTOR INDEX')]
[PARALLEL n];
Note:
-
If you do not specify the
PARAMETERS
clause, then all parts of the hybrid vector index (both Oracle Text index and vector index) are recreated with existing preference settings. -
Renaming hybrid vector indexes using the
ALTER INDEX RENAME
syntax is not supported.
- [schema.]index_name
-
Specifies name of the hybrid vector index that you want to modify.
- PARAMETERS(UPDATE VECTOR INDEX)
-
Recreates only the vector index part of a hybrid vector index with the original preference settings.
- PARALLEL
-
Specifies parallel indexing, as described for the
CREATE HYBRID VECTOR INDEX
statement.For detailed information on the
PARALLEL
clause, see CREATE HYBRID VECTOR INDEX.
Examples
-
To rebuild all parts of a hybrid vector index:
Use the following syntax to rebuild all parts of a hybrid vector index (both Oracle Text index and vector index) with the original preference settings:
Syntax:
ALTER INDEX index_name REBUILD [PARALLEL n];
Note that you do not need to specify any
PARAMETERS
clause when rebuilding both parts of a hybrid vector index.Example:
ALTER INDEX my_hybrid_idx REBUILD; SELECT (select id from doc_table where rowid = jt.doc_rowid) as doc, jt.chunk FROM JSON_TABLE( DBMS_HYBRID_VECTOR.SEARCH( json( '{ "hybrid_index_name" : "my_hybrid_idx", "vector" : { "search_text" : "vector based search capabilities", "search_mode" : "CHUNK" }, "return" : { "topN" : 10 } }') ), '$[*]' COLUMNS doc_rowid PATH '$.rowid', chunk PATH '$.chunk_text') jt;
-
To rebuild only the vector index part:
Use the following syntax to rebuild only the vector index part of a hybrid vector index with the original preference settings:
Syntax:
ALTER INDEX index_name REBUILD PARAMETERS('UPDATE VECTOR INDEX') [PARALLEL n];
Example:
ALTER INDEX my_hybrid_idx REBUILD PARAMETERS('UPDATE VECTOR INDEX') PARALLEL 3; SELECT (select id from doc_table where rowid = jt.doc_rowid) as doc, jt.chunk FROM JSON_TABLE( DBMS_HYBRID_VECTOR.SEARCH( json( '{ "hybrid_index_name" : "my_hybrid_idx", "vector" : { "search_text" : "vector based search capabilities", "search_mode" : "CHUNK" }, "return" : { "topN" : 10 } }') ), '$[*]' COLUMNS doc_rowid PATH '$.rowid', chunk PATH '$.chunk_text') jt;
