I have a table with fields that I guess would be a good idea to set as indexes because users may query it to get results ordered by different criteria. For example:
------------------ Artists Table ------------------ 1. art_id 2. art_name 3. art_bday 4. art_sex 5. art_country (foreign key, there is a table of countries) 6. art_type (foreign key, there is a table of types of artists) 7. art_email 8. art_comment 9. art_ bio "art_id" is the primary key. Users query the table to get results ordered by fields (2) to (6). Is it wise to define such fields as indexes? I ask this question because our database has additional tables with the same characteristics and maybe there would be many indexes. With respect, Jorge Maldonado
