What is OrientDB's indexing scheme?

Just like the question says. Are there explicit indexes you need to add your documents into? Or is it automatic secondary indexes?

Solution

  • There are both kinds of indexes:

    • automatic, created against the schema and populated automatically. This is very close to what RDBMS offers
    • manual, created and populated manually using Java API, HTTP REST protocol or plain SQL using "index:" as prefix instead of the class name.
