Thank's :), i was a little confused, i used the ibwebadmin and i must
correct mi first aseveration.

the names that are given to the indexes are the same used in the
definition of the constraints.


is just that ibwebadmin some times doesn't display all records that
supposedly must show; and with the database with dialect 3 it showme
some of the indexes that exist ( all the indexes of the PK's) in tab
of accesories. Meanwhile with dialect 1 doesn't do that.


When i read your post then i decide use the isql directly, and yes,
the same index are created in both dialects.


But i must say that in the ddl created by ibwebadmin and used for
create the databases with the isql doesn't exist definition of
indexes, just of the constraints for foreing keys and primary keys,
and indices are created automatically. :)

check this:

select RDB$INDEX_NAME, RDB$FOREING_KEY from RDB$INDICES;

and i'm sure that you will find index for that constraints, are
created automatically.


But thank's i was confused, and your reply make me that i check the
things more carefully.
