RE: CREATE INDEX and name only some columns

1) Better performance
2) You can change the DB without needing to recompile all the program.

I'm with you on #1 & #2 for DDS/LF, but since you say "same reason
you'd..." you seem to imply that both cases are true in SQL too. I can
see #1, but #2 isn't true, is it? If I "select * from..." in an RPG
program I can still change the underlying table w/out a recompile, can't
I?
