Found by `mint broken-links --check-anchors` on the assembled site. Three point at sections that were renamed or moved: the tag-versioning heading, the branches comparison table, and the table-creation patterns, which now live on the Create a table page. Three named sections that no longer exist and now link to the page they were on.

## CREATE INDEX {#create}
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE INDEX ON documents (title)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
SQL `CREATE INDEX` covers **one column** and takes **no user-chosen name** --
|
|
the server names it. For a multi-column or explicitly-named index, or to
|
|
choose the algorithm, use the SDK's
|
|
[`create_index`](/indexing).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
**Enterprise job type:** `create_ivf_pq`, `create_btree`, `create_fts`, and one
|
|
more per algorithm -- the type names which algorithm is building, not a
|
|
different feature. See [Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## DROP INDEX {#drop}
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
DROP INDEX documents.title_idx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Takes the qualified `table.index` name. Find it with the SDK's
|
|
[`list_indices`](/indexing) if you created the index without
|
|
naming it yourself.
