They can be very useful, especially for nullable columns.

One Answer:

Hello Ara,

There is a feature called Extended index management in the 'Features and ideas' list, that implies implementation of expression-based and partial indexes. For now, there is no votes for it, but this can be easily fixed, I suppose =).

Haha. Fixed ;) Unfortunately I don't have too many votes remaining!

Right. But that limitation adds the value to the voting process and results, as developers also have limited resources.

Let's wait and see, the feature might be requested by someone else.

may be merge Extended index managment with Clustered index not based on primary key?

Nice idea, will do.

Failed. Merging feature is unavailable for our current pricing plan (we use the 'Free' one).

Although, the feature has already gained 6 points for 10 hours. Let's wait and see the final result.
