It was different in a few ways, but I used to do that with db2 on the as/400, you had physical files (tables) and logical files (indexes) and you could select directly from the logical files - but they were more like materialized views that were sorted in a particular way than exactly an index.

But I agree, it would be a nice ability to have.
