<h1 class="topictitle1">Sort sequence and the CREATE INDEX statement</h1>
<div><p>Indexes are created using the sort sequence that was in effect
when the CREATE INDEX statement was run.</p>
<div class="section"><p>An entry is added to the index every time an insert is made into
the table over which the index is defined. Index entries contain the weighted
value for character key, and UCS-2 and UTF-16 graphic key columns. The system
gets the weighted value by converting the key value based on the sort sequence
of the index.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When selection is made using that sort sequence and that index,
the character, or UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic keys do not need to be converted
before comparison. This improves the performance of the query. </p>
