Can i add an index to a table in Tilda for performance? - postgresql

Question

We created a simple table in Tilda and want to create an index. How to do that?
{ "name": "Test"
,"description": "The table to keep track tests amd owners"
,"columns":[
{ "name": "id" , "type": "STRING" , "nullable": false, "size": 128, "invariant": true, "description": "The name of the test" }
,{ "name": "name" , "type": "STRING" , "nullable": false, "size": 128, "invariant": true, "description": "The name of the test" }
,{ "name": "test_fk" , "sameAs":"Test.refnum" , "nullable": false, "invariant": true, "description": "The name of the test" }
]
,"primary": { "autogen": true }
,"foreign": [
{ "name":"Test", "srcColumns":["test_fk"], "destObject":"Test" }
]
}

You can see documentation details about Index creation in table definitions in the Wiki:
https://github.com/CapsicoHealth/Tilda/wiki/Tilda-JSON-Syntax%3A-Object-Indices
// Within an Object definition, you can define any number of indices (or none).
"indices":[
// A unique index that exists in the database over colA and colB
{ "name":"Blah1", "columns":["colA", "ColB"], "db":true }
// A regular (non-unique) index that overlaps with the previous definition
// but only exists for application needs (no database definition).
,{ "name":"Blah2", "columns":["colA"] , "orderBy":["colB"], "db":false}
// A regular index with only an orderBy definition.
,{ "name":"Blah3", "orderBy":["colB"], "db":true }
]
The markup above shows the JSON to create a variety of indices with comments explaining what each attribute does.
