This is my understanding, so it must be documanted somewhere that filters
don't use indexes. Or maybe it is onw of my third-party texts.

Can you set a range then a filter? I.e., use the range on the filter to limit
the number of records, then use the filter on that subset?

1. Problems with query perfomance using the filtered indexes

Hi,

I need to eliminate the indexes of deleted records from my queries. The
useful result has been achieved by using the filter expression !DELETED()
for indexes, but ...

When I using the filtered indexes with filter expression !DELETED(), then
the time needed to perform the query is growing enourmously compared to
query time with unfiltered indexes.

This database are used by several users simultaneously, which deny to use
the database indexing in runtime.

How can I make my queries to work faster?

with best regards,
Hendrik N?ulik
