• Key Concepts: 
  Index-aware is a term used in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) to describe the ability of a query to use an index to improve query performance. An index is a data structure that stores information about the data in a table, allowing for faster access to the data. Index-aware queries can take advantage of this structure to improve query performance.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use index-aware queries in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT), you must first create an index on the table that you are querying. This can be done by right-clicking on the table and selecting “Create Index”. Once the index is created, you can then select “Index-Aware” from the Query Properties window when creating a query. This will enable the query to take advantage of the index and improve its performance.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an index, it is important to consider which columns should be included in the index. Generally, columns that are used in WHERE clauses or JOIN clauses should be included in the index, as this will allow for faster access to the data. Additionally, it is important to note that indexes can slow down INSERT and UPDATE operations, so they should only be used when necessary.
