From: | | Fenwick, Ruth |
Glenn's right, if more of your access is via the 3 columns than the 2, it makes a better PI especially if it changes the PI from a NUPI
to a UPI.
The optimizer really favours the PI over a SI, so it may not use the secondary index. It might if the secondary is a USI.
Since it's a single AMP operation, why are you concerned about the 2 column PI? Is it very non unique?
