Description

The PACK DATABASE command packs all the tables in the active database. Packing a table removes all records previously marked for deletion from the table.

Databases are opened using the OPEN DATABASE command.

If the <database name> is specified, the PACK DATABASE command will operate on the specified database's catalog file: the catalog file will be packed and its index tags rebuilt using INDEX ON.

If the database is open, it must be open in exclusive mode.
