1) Not sure what's going on there, perhaps run a check on the table.
2) I just recently indexed a column on a table with ~500000 rows, on a
char(4) field, took roughly 30 seconds.
3) No problems running multiple index's, a tip though, lock the table before
you add the index, you can sometimes get a lil more speed that way (though I
couldn't do that, was a production table). What kind of hardware you
running?
