Suggestion: Don't use pure SQL for everything. Instead, use a
combination of the SQL and the database classes. For example, you can
create a QUERY and use that. This has the rowset class (automatically)
attached to it, and you can use any index tag you want from there:

qMyQuery = new Query()
qMyQuery.sql = "select * from mytable"
qMyQuery.active = true
qMyQuery.rowset.indexName = "myindextag"

Hope that helps.
