Subject: create index on function - why?
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 11:25:40 -0500
Message-ID: <3C6D3684.9040101@kencast.com> (raw)

I can understand the rationale behind creating index on tables, it 
speeds up the searching.

But what is the rationale behind creating index on a function? how does 
it help with the database performance?

Thank you.
