Thanks Dave. I believe the point is made.

However, I have another related question and will ask as part of this thread since I do not want to create another new topic.

Question -

I have a table as below :-

     CREATE TABLE t1
     (col1 INTEGER NOT NULL
     ,start_date DATE NOT NULL
     ,end_date DATE NOT NULL
     );

Users often fire queries which involves a date range based on both start_date and end_date together or either as shown below

Query-1

     select *
       from t1
       where start_date >= '01/01/2015' and end_date < '06/30/2015';

Query-2

     select *
       from t1
       where start_date >= '01/01/2015';

Will it be wise to create a NUSI on start_date and end_date to elevate query performance? Please indicate if 2 separate single column NUSI is preferred or 1 composite NUSI comprising both start_date & end_date is advisable. Also is using a Range based PPI useful in this instance?

Thanks
