You can generally specify this in the database using indexes (at least for
Oracle and OpenBase). Of course, since it's a lazy method, it'll just throw
database exceptions on problems.
It might be nice to see the ability to specify indexing from the modeler.
Andrus, if you have OpenBaseManager installed, the UI for doing that there
is pretty cool. You just pull-down "no index", "index", "unique index",
"clustered index", etc, for each db attribute.
Not sure how well supported this is across databases.
