An SQL table or physical file is the base object for a query. It represents the source of the data used to produce the result set for the query. It is created by the user and specified in the FROM clause (or OPNQRYF FILE parameter).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="perf21b.htm">Radix index</a></strong><br />
An SQL index (or keyed sequence access path) is a permanent object that is created over a table and used by the optimizer to provide a sequenced view of the data for a scan or probe operation.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="perf21c.htm">Encoded vector index</a></strong><br />
An encoded vector index is a permanent object that provides access to a table by assigning codes to distinct key values and then representing those values in a vector.</li>
