Norbert, I have to come back to your answer.
With the .explain option, I can see, how performance is with and without index on the _mongo console_. As an example, I see: with index only 2 objects scanned, without: 200. Performance is perfect with index. But _from smalltalk_, it seems to iterate over all objects, also with the index set. Slow. You wrote: "The index will be selected automatically." It seems that it does not. My question: MongoQuery has an attribute named "where" which is filled with the mentioned "receipts.receiptDescription". Because of the name of this attribute "where" and the slow performance, I assume that the mongo classes use the $where command: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/query/where/ Is this right? In this case with the statement Trip selectMany: { 'receipts.receiptDescription' -> 'Tankquittung' } asDictionary the index would not be set automatically. "The $where provides greater flexibility, but requires that the database processes the JavaScript expression or function for each document in the collection. " Then my question is if the mongo classes support database queries with index and if yes, how. I am very interested in your opinion and I think other users should have the same requirements (querying indexed variables) - how did they solve this?

For queries you don't need this because you choose the database and collection by using the smalltalk classes. You can look there if something you need exists. >> Creating indexes is not yet supported. I want to do that myself.

You can use just the nested properties form. The index will be selected automatically.
