      In nearly all SQL implementations you can create indexes with a limitation on the length of the originating content that is indexed. For example:

      CREATE INDEX part_of_name ON customer (name(10));
      – creates an index using the first 10 characters of the name column

      This would allow for several benefits:

      • more configurable and useful indexes
      • less memory and/or disk space requirements for indexes
      • higher performance indexing
      • higher performance sorting
