[Hibernate] Defining column index for properties

[Yaron Z. <ya...@id...>]

Hi,

 In a use case where the database schema is almost fully controlled by the
mapping file, does it makes sense to add the functionality of defining an
index on a single property? The next level would of course be defining an
composite index, using several properties/columns.

 Is this in the scope of Hibernate?

Thanks, Yaron.
