Indexes

Indexes are primarily used to enhance database performance (though inappropriate use can result in slower performance).

An index field can be an expression computed from the values of one or more columns of the table row. This feature can be used to obtain fast access to data based on some transformation of the basic data.

Table indexes are managed on the Indexes tab of the Table Designer. Just simply click/double-click an index field for editing. A right-click displays the popup menu or using the toolbar below, allowing you to create new, edit and delete the selected index field.
