We learn mathematics etc so that we can make numerical models which give us design information. Imagine trying to build every combination of a bridge to settle on a design!

Make a mathematical model and get it close to optimal at the first attempt.

Yes, I suppose you are right there.
I will see if I can put together a report that runs all possible types of
queries (sequentially) and then see if I have left anything out that would
cause problems.

_All_ possible queries? Not practical for any significant number of columns. N factorial gets big fast.

The indexes would be much larger than the data base itself.

I'm afraid you are going to have to settle for doing an intelligent design of the data base.
