Hello,

We have a small (2GB) 8.4.20 database. The prior maintainer ran a reindexdb
twice a day (originally started with 7.3.x). Can anybody see a reason why we need to
continue to do this?

I don't. It certainly appears to be a piece of duct-tape put on either due to a real or perceived ancient bug or due to somebody's misunderstanding of things in the distant past. (I would, however, start looking at upgrading from 8.4 which is EOL in about 3 months.)

Cheers,
Steve
