In many cases, index data is stored outside the Informix dbspace. However, you can build an access method for data stored as a large object in an sbspace. The database server can use a virtual index transparently to access data in an Informix table. Use this method to create an alternative indexing strategy for specialized data types.
For information on how to create secondary access methods, see the IBM Informix Virtual-Index Interface Programmer's Guide.
