Michael, I have wondered that aloud too.. Its always been that way..
Even the Login Name does not have a unique index on it in the user form... At least they put a simple index on it.. If I remember right, version 6.x didn't even have that simple index on it.. causing applications like customer support crawl on user form searches if you had close to a million customers.. I asked support about it once and didn't get a good answer as to why an index is missing on that form.. now it looks like they have an index on the Login Name for version 7 but its not unique.. In my experience it doesn't hurt to put those indexes yourself. I've always done it (both on the group and user form) with no negative effects - in fact it helped one of my customers quite a bit on the performance side after introducing those indexes as required.. Some parts of their system was virtually unusable before doing that..

Why is there no unique index on Group ID? I can't fathom a situation where I would want differently named groups with the same ID. Am I totally off-base on this or ???
