Do I need to make sure I re-create every index on every child table
I create?
That would be.. annoying, at best.
Is there a way to enable inheritance of indexes too?
You do not need an index on the master table so create indexes on child
tables only. This way you are avoiding big index scans and only looking
at the index on the data you are interested in (child table).
Ah, but I'd rather not maintain all those extra indexes!
Say I want to add a new index - now I'd need to go through and add it to
a hundred tables! I guess I can script it.. but it doesn't seem good.
It seems messy to inherit the columns but not the indexes or checks upon
them :(
