A named index canbe used to order the rowset, and to provide fast key-based row retrieval fromthe table.</p><p>The <codeph>TDbSeekKey</codeph> class is used to pass a key value to <codeph>RDbTable::SeekL()</codeph>,for lookup in the currently active index on that rowset. It can store a keyvalue of any type. </p><p><codeph>TDbSeekKey</codeph> can only hold a single-column key. Use the <codeph>TDbSeekMultiKey<TIntS></codeph> templated class to allow multi-column indexes to be searched usingmulti-column key values. The template parameter <codeph>S</codeph> specifiesthe maximum number of column values that can be added to the key value.</p></conbody></concept>
