<div><p>Restoring an SQL index can be faster than rebuilding it. Although
times vary depending on a number of factors, rebuilding a database index takes
approximately one minute for every 10 000 rows.</p>
<div class="section"><p>After restoring the index, the table might need to be brought
up to date by applying the latest journal changes (depending on whether journaling
is active). Even with this additional recovery time, you might find it faster
to restore indexes rather than to rebuild them.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The server ensures the integrity of an index before you can use
it. If the server determines that the index is unusable, the server attempts
to recover it. You can control when an index will be recovered. If the server
ends abnormally, during the next IPL the server automatically lists those
tables requiring index or view recovery. You can decide whether to rebuild
the index or to attempt to recover it at one of the following times: </p>
<ul><li>During the IPL</li>
<li>After the IPL</li>
<li>When the table is first used</li>
</ul>
