3.Define the index and build it.  

To create an index using the visual TurboDB Viewer application:
1.Open the TurboDB Viewer from your Delphi/Kylix tools menu or the start menu.  
2.Open a table using the Dataset/Open/Table command  
3.Select the Table/Indexes... command  
4.Define the index and build it.  

To create an index using the text-based TurboDB Workbench utility:
1.Open the TurboDB Workbench utility in the windows\bin directory of your TurboDB installation.  
2.Enter the command to create the new index (newindex).
