Re: Sql Table / View / index issue -- RPG400-L

Yep. As I alluded in response to the question "why would anyone want to do that" that was raised in this same thread:
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200809/msg00070.html

And of course as alluded in the quoted text below, the INDEX itself [i.e. not an INDEX _over_ a VIEW] might be able to resolve some cases [in v6r1], instead of having to use OPNQRYF KEYFLD().

One scenario that arose recently at one of my accounts was the
desire to do keyed IO from RPG (using common data management
interfaces) to a view containing a UDF.

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

No. What scenario gives rise to that inquiry? <<SNIP>> The DB2 for i [with IBM i 6.1] offers some new function with its
SQL CREATE INDEX statement. That new function enables an SQL INDEX
to be created both with mapping [expressions represented as
columns] and selection [a WHERE clause], very similar to what a DDS
LF derived [keyed] [select/omit] index might provide.
