Subject: CREATE INDEX and name only some columns

Can I create an SQL index and name the columns so that I'm
only including specific columns from the base table instead
of all columns?

Nope.

Or do I need to create a view, and then an index over the
view (because a view can't have a 'key')?

Can't do that either.

I've been looking for examples creating an index with
specific columns, haven't found any, and therefore I think I
can't do it.

Correct.


The only reason you'd need such an animal would be for RPG native I/O.

If you're using SQL, the index over the table would be used even if you're SELECTing from the view.

HTH,
