RE: table indexes

Surely that depends upon who or what is doing the telling? If it's the
SQL optimizer telling you then it might have a good reason. If it's your

Subject: table indexes

Hi,

I have a table with an index already on Columns 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Now I've been told we need another one on Columns 1, 2 and 3.

Is that necessary? I don't see why.

Thanks
