Appendix D: Using Sybase Mode Commands

drop index (core)

Removes an index from a table in the current database.

Transact-SQL Syntax

drop index table_name.index_name
[, table_name.index_name]...

ODBC Syntax

DROP INDEX index_name

table_name: is the table in which the indexed column is located. The table must be in the current database.

drop index authors.au_id_ind

You can specify multiple index names in Transact-SQL, but ODBC supports only a single name per statement. If multiple names are present, multiple ODBC DROP statements are generated.
ASE/CIS passes the drop index command to DirectConnect as a language event.
To get information about existing indexes on a table, use:
```
sp_helpindex table_name
```
