Guidelines for adding text search index elements to a standard table

You can review the guidelines for adding text search index elements.

When adding text search index elements to standard tables, keep the following considerations in mind:
  • You can add the text search element only to non-transactional tables.
  • The searches performed for the text search indices are case insensitive.
  • You can define more than one text search indices per entity.
  • You cannot define multiple columns on a text index.
  • IBM® supports CTXCAT and CONTEXT text search index types on Oracle.
  • Defining both the extended entity and the text search index in the same extension XML file is recommended.
