Suite Drop Post Index Before Upgrading

[محروم.كوم]

My postindex has about 50m entries in it and is 1GB. Is it posible to drop the index before upgrade? My upgrade will conincide with a server move and detween the mysqldump to create the backup and the mysqldump to import the database on the new box, the process will take a handful of hours. If I can drop the postindex prior to backup and restore I think the process will be 2-3 hours instead of 6-8.


What are the ramifications of doing it this way? Any better recommendations to do a server move / upgrade? __DEFINE_LIKE_SHARE__
