RE: Sql Table / View / index issue

[Doug Palme <DPalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I was hoping to use the view in a procedural program that I really do not
   want to take the time to re-write....but I understand what you are saying.

   Thanks Eric.....

   Oh Vern.....in case I forgot - Thanks :)

   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?
