simple
(field1,field2) (field2,field1)
 1        1            1        1
 2        x             1       4
 3        x             1       8
 4        1             x       2
 5        x             x       3
 6        x             x       5
 7        x             x       6
 8        1             x       7
 etc
 select where field2=1
 in one case value = 1 could also be the last field1
 in the second case the search ends after the third element 
                                   there may be other elements

Oggetto: Re: Rif: [firebird-support] Re: Is it possible to use only "part"
of the index?
 
  
So, if I change the order of fields in the index I can speed things up.
Could someone explain me why it works like it works? What are the internals
behind this?
