Indexes are created on the table to improve performance. The purpose of adding index is
to help the database locate records much quickly and efficiently. The steps needed in
adding an index to a Siebel table are pretty straight forward but this has to be first done
on the local client db using Siebel Tools and should never be done straight on the
database.
For the purpose of this blog, I will take an example of adding an index to an extension
column s_org_ext.X_OLD_ACC_NUM.
This blog assumes that the extension column X_CDC_ACC_NUM has already been
created and needs to be indexed so that the query runs faster.
Steps:
3 Password: this is the password that was used when you extracted the local
database EX: if you extracted your local database with username: JMAY and
password: INTERNET then you should enter INTERNET. The most common
practice is I believe that the password will be your login name as you will be
extracting from Development environment.
ODBC data source: This is the name of the System DSN set under Windows
Control Panel -> Data Sources (ODBC) -> System DSN. It is most likely be “SSD
77 Local Db default instance” or “SSD Local Db default instance”. The DSN
should be pointing to the sse_data.dbf file. This step the most common issue
people might face as they might not know the instance or don’t know where to
look at. Otherwise it is very simple.
Note: Never add an index to a system column otherwise it will impact performance
severely.
