Re: Index advisor advising index on primary key

No dice. It says it's an attempt to add a duplicate constraint.

I think I'll take Vern's advice and open a PMR. At least I'll learn something.

Oooh. So if I did an ALTER TABLE and added a UNIQUE constraint on this file, that might do it?

Hi, Jeff:

You said "primary key" but did not indicate whether this column has a "unique" constraint?

(I know that when you add a unique constraint to a table or file it creates an index (access path) under the covers.)

On our item master file, it is advising that I create an index on field ITNBR. This file is an SQL table created via DDL (not DDS) and ITNBR is the primary key. Does this advice make sense? Why would it advise an index on the primary key?
