This section describes plug-in indexes.
The CREATE INDEX definition SQL is used to create a plug-in index for a table.
Some plug-ins require definition of a plug-in index. If a function that uses a plug-in index is specified without the plug-in index having been defined, an error may result during execution.
You can use the database load utility (pdload) to create a plug-in index in the batch mode. For details about batch creation of a plug-in index, see 6.4 Creating a table containing a plug-in-provided abstract data type.
