The following CREATE TABLE request defines the IndexColumns table:

   CREATE TABLE IndexColumns(

     RecommendationID INTEGER NOT NULL,
     TableID          BYTE(6) NOT NULL,
     IndexID          INTEGER NOT NULL,
     ColumnName       VARCHAR128 CHARACTER SET UNICODE
                      NOT CASESPECIFIC NOT NULL)
   PRIMARY INDEX ( RecommendationID, TableID, IndexID );

Attribute Definitions for IndexColumns

The following table defines the IndexColumns table attributes:

Attribute Definition
WorkloadID Uniquely identifies the workload analyzed to create this secondary index recommendation.
RecommendationID
  • Uniquely identifies the recommendation ID in the IndexRecommendations table.
  • Partial NUPI for the table.
TableID
  • Uniquely identifies the table ID in the IndexRecommendations table.
  • Partial NUPI for the table.
IndexID
  • Uniquely identifies the index in the IndexRecommendations table.

The number of rows in IndexColumns for a given index is equal to the number of columns in the index, so any composite index has multiple rows associated with it.
