This is very simple thing, so the description will not be long. But – I'm mostly a DBA, so all things that give me more power are welcome 🙂

REINDEX is a command that can be used to remove bloat from index(es). Normally one would do:

$ reindex INDEX some_index_name;

But you can also, do:

$ reindex TABLE some_table;

to reindex all indexes on given table, or

$ reindex DATABASE some_db;

to handle all indexes in given database.

Or you can even:

$ reindex system some_db;

to reindex system indexes in given database (well, it has to be current db).

Now, we got new form:

$ reindex schema some_schema;

Which will reindex all indexes on all tables in given schema. Including indexes on toast tables for tables in this schema.

I like it. Would love it if we'd finally get “reindex concurrently", but anyway it's a nice addition.
