                      2: .sh NAME
                      3: indconv - convert secondary indices so that they are compatible
                      4: with INGRES version 6.1.
                      5: .sh SYNOPSIS
                      6: INDCONV dbname
                      7: .sh DESCRIPTION
                      8: INDCONV will convert all secondary indices owned by the user
                      9: in database dbname to be compatible with version 6.1 of INGRES.
                     10: If more than user has secondary indices in the data base,
                     11: each user will have to run INDCONV.
                     12: INDCONV destroys the secondary indices, recreates them
                     13: and restores them to the proper storage structure and key ordering.
                     14: The names of the secondary indices are displayed on the user's terminal
                     15: when they have been successfully converted.
                     16: .sp
                     17: Once any secondary index is converted,
                     18: INGRES version 6.0 should NOT be run.
                     19: INGRES 6.0 cannot distinguish between 6.0 indices and 6.1 indices
                     20: and it will crash if it tries to use a 6.0 index.
                     21: .sp
                     22: If INGRES version 6.1 attempts to use a secondary index that has not
                     23: been converted, it will generate an error message
                     24: telling the user to convert secondary indices to version 6.1.
                     25: .sh DIAGNOSTICS
                     26: If there are more than 100 secondary indices,
                     27: INDCONV will display a message to that effect.
                     28: INDCONV will convert the first 100 secondary indices it finds.
                     29: When it is finished, the user should run INDCONV again
                     30: to convert the remaining secondary indices.
                     31: .sh "SEE ALSO"
                     32: index(quel), modify(quel)
                     33: .sh BUGS
                     34: There is no recovery program for when INDCONV crashes or is killed.
                     35: .sp
                     36: INDCONV cannot tell if the original secondary indices
                     37: were modified using the fillfactor, minpages or maxpages options.
