You probably need to be logged in to vote -- will appear as an action on the 
left column.  Spam being what it is these days we can't really allow anonymous 
access to many functions.

It's been a long standing request -- much longer in fact than the ticket 
suggests.  

We generally optimise the database directly for all our clients, so having an 
automated mechanism for putting in indices has never been a high priority for 
us.  However, that said, all objectid columns should be primary keys (well 
nearly all).  If you see a table with a PK please raise a ticket in the bug 
tracker -- it will help us try and pin down why some are created and others are 
not.

Supporting precision for MSSQL, mySQL, Oracle and Postgres is not trivial.  We 
really need to set aside some serious time to build a solution.  Without a 
commercial sponsor its a job that competes directly with other features that 
currently have a higher priority.  Hopefully we can tackle the problem sometime 
this year.

Thanks,
