 This is equivalent to running `DROP DATABASE customers IF EXISTS` followed by `CREATE DATABASE customers`.
 
+Keep in mind that using `CREATE OR REPLACE DATABASE` also removes indexes and constraints.
+To preserve them, run the following Cypher commands before the `CREATE OR REPLACE DATABASE` and save their outputs:
+
+[source, cypher]
+----
+SHOW CONSTRAINTS YIELD createStatement AS statement
+----
+
+[source, cypher]
+----
+SHOW INDEXES YIELD createStatement, owningConstraint
+WHERE owningConstraint IS NULL
+RETURN createStatement AS statement
+----
+
 The behavior of `IF NOT EXISTS` and `OR REPLACE` apply to both standard and composite databases (e.g. a composite database may replace a standard database or another composite database).
