Extend index schema

Created on 11 October 2012, over 12 years ago
Updated 16 January 2025, 5 days ago

Now we support multi-column indexes with optional lenght specified. I'll need to support multiple types of indexes like hash, skiplist or R-Tree. Also index order (ASC/DESC) could be useful in some cases.
This change is backwards compatible (now we expect indexing using BTREE, in ASC order in case of MySQL). Database drivers can define fallbacks if they find a not-supported index type.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for 8+ years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
