Searching by Spatial Indexes
Spatial Indexes are a useful type of index that give the designer the ability
to search 2 or 3 dimensional space. Searching a Spatial Index builds an
internal index of all objects that have an overlap between the space search for
and the space given within the indexed field.
First open the table which you wish to view edit the objects in as
previously described.
Then view the table indexes as previously described.
Use the mouse to select the index you wish to view, making sure that the blue
highlight is on the desired index, right click with the mouse bottom and select
"Search Index".
Once the "Searching Spatial Index" dialog box appears, enter the values of the
4 or 6 points defining the space that you wish to search in.
note:
this search will return any objects that have an overlapping space with the
search space, not just all the objects that can fit entirely within the search
space.
Then select "OK"
