Hi,

first i´d like to thank the people on this list that I have found to be 
very helpful in the past. This list is truly great and friendly.

I got two questions today:

I have two tables, a standard one and an rtree table, which are both 
linked together logically by the ID field of the rtree table.

Can I spare some bytes in my DB by defining the ID field of the standard 
table as being a foreign key of the rtree table? In other words, when 
defining a foreign key, is the coloumn referencing the ID field of the 
foreign table and thus NOT replicating them (using a smaller memory 
footprint in the file)?
Or does the table which has a foreign key still have its own ID coloumn?

And regarding Indices:
my standard table has two indices, one for the coloumn ID (since it is 
being referenced from the rtree), plus another one on a coloumn which I 
use for sorting the results coming from that table. Are indices also 
used for sorting results, or do they do just apply for searching?

Thanks in advance, 

Christophe Leske
