Does anyone consider it essential to put indexes on Foreign Keys or is it just an option to safeguard against the rare possiblity of a deadlock ? Is this possibility real and have you seen it happen ? I am one who does not want to create a foreign index as their is already one wih a leading column which makes this foreign key index redundant. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Johnson, Michael INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
