With expression-based indexes, you can create an index that includes expressions. The performance of queries that  involves expressions is improved if the database manager chooses an index that is created on the same expressions. Expression-based indexes are best suited when you want an efficient evaluation of queries that involve a column expression. Simple index keys consist of a concatenation of one or more specified…
