Not necessarily so... An index on the primary key will not only allow you to sort or sselect the file by that key instantly, but also allow quick selects on partial keys (e.g. select myfile with key = 12345]). Admittedly esoteric, but on occasion handy.

Indexing PART of the primary key on the other hand would be useful. You might consider creating an I-Type dictionary item that's @ID[1,3], and then indexing that field. That would work rather quickly. ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
