Thanks Ken and Jesse.  We will continue to evaluate to see if we can
find some performance gains in other ways.

Sadly, no. Every database really does want a different set of indexes.
In particular, Oracle seems to strongly prefer single-column indexes.
(And can use many of them on the same query.) The last time we saw test
data with mysql and postgres, they dealt better with multi-column
indexes.

Best,
