see this video where it is shown that dropping the db and restarting the peer does not rebuild the db:

To rebuild peer's state database:
stop peer, drop state database, restart peer. State database will automatically be rebuilt from the blockchain.

To rebuild peer's channel blockchains and state database:
stop peer, drop state database, use "peer node reset" to reset channels to genesis blocks, restart peer. Peer will automatically re-pull and re-process blocks.

Peer log will indicate rebuild progress.

How do we rebuild the state database? we tried to drop the database (mychannel_test) (screenshot below)

and restart the network but that does not rebuild the database. It is completely lost.
