);

DESCRIPTION

Represents index, that force resultset order by either generating ORDER BY sql fragment,
or by adding hint sql fragement (Oracle, MySQL)


my $entity = SQL::Entity->new(
    name                  => 'emp',
    primary_key           => ['empno'],
    unique_expression     => 'rowid',
    columns               => [
        sql_column(name => 'ename'),
        sql_column(name => 'empno'),
        sql_column(name => 'deptno')
    ],
    indexes => [
        sql_index(name => 'idx_emp_empno', columns => ['empno'], hint => 'INDEX_ASC(emp idx_emp_empno)'),
        sql_index(name => 'idx_emp_ename', columns => ['ename']),
    ],
    order_index => 'idx_emp_ename'
);


my ($sql, $bind_variables) = $query->query();
will return
SELECT emp.*
FROM (
SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(emp idx_emp_ename) */ ROWNUM AS the_rownum,
  emp.rowid AS the_rowid,
  emp.deptno,
  emp.ename,
  emp.empno
FROM emp
WHERE ROWNUM < ?) emp
WHERE the_rownum >=
