No, RV is not a table, it is just definition of the cursor and how that cursor is related to Remote source. You must INDEX it ALL the time. That is why I prefer to work with CursorAdapter, I easily can put my INDEX code in AfterCursorFill event (of course if it is successful) and have all the indexes all the time I use it.
