The online documentation is your friend. According to "man rpm", what you
want is "rpm --initdb" or "rpm --rebuilddb", probably "--rebuilddb":
Excerpting from the output of "man rpm":
REBUILD DATABASE OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is
rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]
Use --initdb to create a new database, use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
database indices from the installed package headers.
