I recently created a table index by following this docs guide: Now Platform administration > Table administration > Create a table index (Paris)
Now I want to remove it, but cannot find a way to do so. It's not documented (that I can see), and the Platform UI prevents things like editing the Database Indexes related list on the Table form, or deleting the index record directly from the sys_index table.
Note that I can easily find documentation about:
- removing Text indexes from tables, and
- scheduling an index to be dropped
...but these appear to be indexes for Zing searches and not the same type of index as a Table Index?
Have I got the wrong end of the stick here?
