RE: Sql Table / View / index issue

Right - and you can't have an ORDER BY in a view, the last I remember - you can in mySQL, by the way - don't know if that is SQL standard - MySQL adds lots of their own stuff. As do all the RDBMS'. And more recent releases of OS/400 might allow it.

Well, no. SQL cannot index a virtual table, only a physical file (PF). A view
will use any index over the source PF that the optimizer wants to use. You must
specify the order by in the select statement that is accessing the view.

Is there any way to create an index over a view?
