Hi,
Just picked this up on the tail of the digest, thought I would add my
2c. I would definitely re-evaluate the indices you have for IB over
Pdox.
I've found that pdox does not merge indices, therefore you tend to end
up with a lot of indices that have the same first two or three fields,
this does IB no favour.
Generally I would just get the Pk and FK's in there, then add indices
based on poor performance.
Cheers,
Jason Chapman
