Subject Slow performance with Index
Author Edwin A. Epstein, III
I have a table with 14 million records in it. As part of certain operations
I need to do against the records I flag them individually as part of a que.
I am using a field called DNC_QUED which is a VarChar(1) and ASCII character
set. I have non-unique index on just the field alone. There are no null
values and the only values are '1' or '0'.

When I pull a SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE DNC_QUED = '1' and attempt to
fetch all records it takes a very long time (30 minutes plus). I checked
the plan and it is using the index.

Is there anything I can do to increase the performance of that select
statement?

Thanks, Ed
