I am not sure. But looking at the docs I point to it’s confusing.

It doesn’t say that they are documented in CREATE INDEX.

Maybe just add something like:

“Those storage parameters are for table only. If you need ones for index -
check CREATE INDEX page.”

Maybe put that where the WITH clause is explained.

This emphasizes the difference between them.

What do you think?

Thank you.
