To create a join index, use the CREATE JOIN INDEX statement.

For example, suppose that a common task is to look up customer orders by customer number and date. You might create a join index like the following, linking the customer table, the order table, and the order detail table:

   CREATE JOIN INDEX cust_ord2
   AS SELECT cust.customerid,cust.loc,ord.ordid,item,qty,odate
   FROM cust, ord, orditm
   WHERE cust.customerid = ord.customerid
   AND ord.ordid = orditm.ordid;
