How to create a database index

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 37

Using Dynamics CRM online, how do I create non-unique database indexes to speed up searches by a specific field? I can see there is a "keys" feature but that enforces uniqueness which is no good for me

    Hi,

    In dynamics crm online version 9, database indexes created automatically as and when required. If you are facing more than normal slowness in search please raise a ticket with MS support team to take a look at it in depth.

    Thanks very much. I haven't done any performance testing but I'm a software developer building an app that uses common data services so I was thinking about indexing as part of the schema design.

    Do you know of any documentation describing this?
