or b) when you run SET STATISTICS from isql.


"It" being recomputing the index statistics. This *isn't* the same thing
as [re]building the index, though.

--- to REBUILD indexes. Of course you don't drop constraints for
recomputing the index statistics, natch.

But it's not clear what you mean by "programmatically", either. Dropping
constraints or altering indexes aren't things you can do while the index is
in use...and dropping an integrity constraint requires exclusive sysdba or
owner access (a shut-down database).
