indexes
Hello Gurus
My requirement is
to quickly select records based on either the ID column or the LAST_NAME or both columns together from my table say 'T'
For this
I want to create index on these two columns
Should I be creating
1 index specifying both columns, or
2 indexes (one on each), or
3 indexes (one for ID + one for last name + both)
Can you please advice ??
Thanks in advance

I'll start with one on each column.
Assuming ID column is unique the "two columns together" requirement will be serverd by the unique index on ID.
