Thanks for the answer. Reading the InterBase 6 documentation that exact
question is answered in a "Note". I added both indexes, mostly because I
was not confortable with two table full scans to sort the rows every
time I add a payment. i rather have the index read even when I all the
table may be in one database block (for now).
