   Starting with SQL 2019, it is:   
      
   CREATE TYPE series_t AS TABLE   
     (  moment DATETIME NOT NULL,   
        value  FLOAT,   
        INDEX Main(moment)   
        INCLUDE (value)   
     )   
      
   If you are an older version, I would suggest adding value as an index key   
   is the best in most situations.   
      
   I will submit an edit to the CREATE TYPE topic.
