| - | A type of Omnidex index that facilitates extremely high speed aggregations used primarily in OLAP and data warehousing applications. Aggregation/Sorted Key Indexes are commonly referred to as ASK Indexes. | + | * ASK Indexes generally combine multiple criteria fields along with one or more metric fields into a single composite index. ASK Indexes can also be used to provide sorted and linkage access to data files such as flat files that do not provide native sorted indexes. |
