+### createScalarIndex
+
+• **createScalarIndex**: (`column`: `string`, `replace`: `boolean`) => `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+#### Type declaration
+
+▸ (`column`, `replace`): `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+Create a scalar index on this Table for the given column
+
+##### Parameters
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :------ | :------ | :------ |
+| `column` | `string` | The column to index |
+| `replace` | `boolean` | If false, fail if an index already exists on the column Scalar indices, like vector indices, can be used to speed up scans. A scalar index can speed up scans that contain filter expressions on the indexed column. For example, the following scan will be faster if the column `my_col` has a scalar index: ```ts const con = await lancedb.connect('./.lancedb'); const table = await con.openTable('images'); const results = await table.where('my_col = 7').execute(); ``` Scalar indices can also speed up scans containing a vector search and a prefilter: ```ts const con = await lancedb.connect('././lancedb'); const table = await con.openTable('images'); const results = await table.search([1.0, 2.0]).where('my_col != 7').prefilter(true); ``` Scalar indices can only speed up scans for basic filters using equality, comparison, range (e.g. `my_col BETWEEN 0 AND 100`), and set membership (e.g. `my_col IN (0, 1, 2)`) Scalar indices can be used if the filter contains multiple indexed columns and the filter criteria are AND'd or OR'd together (e.g. `my_col < 0 AND other_col> 100`) Scalar indices may be used if the filter contains non-indexed columns but, depending on the structure of the filter, they may not be usable. For example, if the column `not_indexed` does not have a scalar index then the filter `my_col = 0 OR not_indexed = 1` will not be able to use any scalar index on `my_col`. |
