Hi JM,
Yes, that's possible - it's more-or-less what a secondary index is. So
you'd define your table as you did in your first CREATE TABLE
statement, and then you'd define a secondary index like this:
CREATE INDEX S_W_IDX ON "asset_metadata" (W);
You could also include other columns in the index to make it a covered index:
CREATE INDEX S_W_IDX ON "asset_metadata" (W)
INCLUDE (P, N, E, S, M, T);
where you'd add the columns you'd likely also use when you filter on
s.W in a WHERE clause. Depending on your use case, you might choose
immutable/mutable and local/global - take a look here for more info:

Thanks,
