I’m not sure what this would look like. Is this similar to this other post: [http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-query-ignition-dataset/20348/5](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-query-ignition-dataset/20348/5) , where you want a SQL-like ability to access the dataset? I’m not sure how an “index” column would otherwise help in looking at a large dataset.
