How to create a combination index in Navicat?
In Navicat, creating a composite index can be done by following these steps:
- Open Navicat and connect to the appropriate database server.
- Select the table in the database for which you want to create an index.
- Right-click on the table and select the “Design Table” option.
- Choose the column you want to create an index for in the “Design Table” window.
- Select the “Index” tab in the Properties pane.
- Click on the “Add” button to add an index.
- In the “Add Index” dialog box, select the “Combined Index” option.
- Choose the columns to include in the composite index and specify a name for the composite index.
- Click the “confirm” button to create a composite index.
- Click on the “Save” button to save the changes and close the “Design Table” window.
After completing the above steps, the composite index will be successfully created. A composite index can help optimize query performance, especially when using multiple columns in a query simultaneously.
