Global Functions

Arguments

Name	Comments
columnName	The name of the column to index.

lrvtc_ensure_index creates a column index. If a column is not indexed, the time required to execute a lrvtc_send_if_unique call increases with the number of rows. If the column is indexed, the time for 'send if unique' operations is constant. For large databases, we recommend that you index columns you want to perform 'send if unique' operations.

A column is locked while an index is being built on it. Any function calls that change the column are queued until the index build completes.

If the index exists, this function has no effect.

Return Values

Java Language:   Returns zero on success or one of the Error Codes.

Parameterization

All string input arguments can be passed using standard parameterization.
