Hi,
I'm running one query, and I created two types of index one is composite and 
the other one with single column one and query planner showing almost the same 
cost for both index bitmap scan, I'm not sure which is appropriate to keep in 
production tables.

explain analyze SELECT BAN, SUBSCRIBER_NO, ACTV_CODE, ACTV_RSN_CODE, 
EFFECTIVE_DATE, TRX_SEQ_NO, LOAD_DTTM, rnk AS RNK  FROM ( SELECT CT.BAN,
