Creating a Custom Index

This topic describes how to create a custom index. For more information, see Guidelines for Creating a Custom Index.

To create a custom index

1. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, click Table.
2. In the Tables list, locate the table to which you must add an index.
3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Table tree, and then click Index.
4. In the Indexes list, add a new index.

   When you add a custom index to a table, Siebel Tools appends an _X to the index name. Do not use an index name that includes a word that is reserved on your server or client database. For more information, see Indexes of a Siebel Table and Siebel Object Types Reference.

5. In the Object Explorer, expand the Index tree, and then click Index Column.
6. In the Index Columns list, add a new record for each index column.
