How to Create a Functional Index

How To


Summary

Functional indexes stores the output of a function applied on the values of a table column. Rather than indexing a column, you index the function on that column, storing the product of the function, not the original column data. Functional indexes allow functions to be used in the WHERE clause of queries on indexed columns.
