primary key and the default index operator class

I am trying to figure out how I can change the default operator class of the
index created for my primary key field. Is it even possible since I am not
able to find the syntax?
Or do I need to create the primary key and then an additional index with the
operator class I want. (It would be a waste of space)
Thanks
Sally

I'm probably going to get shot down with thousands of reasons for this, but I've never really heard or read a convincing explanation, so here goes ... Clustered indexes are more efficient at returning large numbers of records than non-clustered indexes. Agreed? (Assuming the NC index doesn't cover the query, of course) Since it's only possible to have one clustered index, why is this almost always used for the primary key, when by...

Greetings all, I have a question concerning primary key types. In the past, I have always created tables with a primary key as an "int" such as: CREATE TABLE color_id ( color_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment primary key, color varchar(45) default NULL ) TYPE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Hi all, Just thought I'd mention that I really think this problem needs to be fixed. I I'm patching the 7.4RC1 JDBC drivers as we speak due to this optimiser bug, and it's the third time I've had to do this. I would think this bug causes quite a lot of people to evaluate postgres and decide it has awful primary key performance! I love postgres, and hate to think that this could be happening.

Is that true that one table can only have one clustered index? The column with clustered index will be sorted physically, is that true? The column with non-clustere index will not be sorted physically, is that true? Also, is primary key clustered index by default? Thanks!

Most of the reference books recommend autonum primary keys, but the Access help says that any unique keys will work. What are the tradeoffs? I have several tables that have unique fields. Can I use them as primary keys or should I define an autonum primary key? One table has information about the 50 states in the US. The table looks like this:

Hello everyone, I am wondering the default implementation of assignment operator (e.g. when we do not implement assignment operator in user defined class, what will be returned? temporary object? reference or const reference? deep copy or shallow copy is used in default assignment operator?)?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
