If I already have SQL indexes existing on my system, is there any notable
reason not to replace them with EVI's?

Since the system must already maintain the existing index, wouldn't the
overhead associated with maintaining the EVI be somewhat similar to
maintaining the existing index? The fields used to create the EVI would be
identical to the existing index. The only difference is that it would be
(re)created as an EVI. Wouldn't this be of benefit if it were only to reduce
the physical size of the index? (And I'd think the EVI would be faster too).
I'm running V5R2. Comments???
