Child elements

Remarks

Notification Services automatically creates indexes on the event ID and event batch ID, which improves vacuuming performance.

Important

If you add, delete, or update an indexing SqlStatement element, updating the application deletes and re-creates the event class to which it corresponds. This includes dropping and re-creating the SQL Server tables and indexes used by this event class. Any data existing in the original SQL Server tables is permanently deleted.

Example

The following example shows a SqlStatement element that creates an index on the StockEvents table.

<SqlStatement>
CREATE INDEX StockIndex
ON StockEvents (StockSymbol);
</SqlStatement>
