.Transaction Database Index and txindex Option
****
((("Bitcoin Core", "running core nodes", "database options")))((("transactions", "database configuration options")))((("txindex option")))By default, Bitcoin Core builds a database containing _only_ the transactions related to the user's wallet. If you want to be able to access _any_ transaction with commands like +getrawtransaction+ (see <<exploring_and_decoding_transanctions>>), you need to configure Bitcoin Core to build a complete transaction index, which can be achieved with the +txindex+ option. Set +txindex=1+ in the Bitcoin Core configuration file. If you don't set this option at first and later set it to full indexing, you need to restart +bitcoind+ with the +-reindex+ option and wait for it to rebuild the index.

<<full_index_node>> shows how you might combine the preceding options, with a fully indexed node, running as an API backend for a bitcoin application.
