Commands: Indexes: How to check if an index has changed?
IndexHasChanged will let you check if the given index definition differs from the one on a server. This might be useful when you want to check the prior index deployment, if index will be overwritten, and if indexing data will be lost.
Syntax
bool IndexHasChanged(string name, IndexDefinition indexDef);| Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| name | string | name of an index to check |
| indexDef | IndexDefinition | index definition |
| Return Value | |
|---|---|
| true | if an index does not exist on a server |
| true | if an index definition does not match the one from the indexDef parameter |
| false | if there are no differences between an index definition on server and the one from the indexDef parameter |
Example
store.DatabaseCommands.IndexHasChanged("Orders/Totals", indexDefinition);
