Amazon Aurora DSQL now supports indexes on the NUMERIC data type

Posted on: Feb 3, 2026

Amazon Aurora DSQL now supports index creation on NUMERIC data types. With this enhancement, you can now use NUMERIC columns in both primary keys and secondary indexes, which can improve query performance for workloads that rely on high-precision values such as currency amounts, measurements and statistical data.

Aurora DSQL support for using the NUMERIC data type in primary keys and secondary indexes is available in all Regions where Aurora DSQL is available. To learn more, see the Supported data types in Aurora DSQL documentation.
