Re: defining files with sql but using setll/read to access

I think this means that -when you specify an index the compiler gets the
physical file definition for all the fields?

Just like any other PF or LF - for a table, put its name in an F-spec -
if it has a primary key that you want to use, declare as keyed in the
usual manner.

For an index, just put its name in the F-spec and declare it keyed.

I think you can even use a view, but it has to be treated as arrival
sequence. Right, you other SQL mavens?

All is the same as you know how to do!!
