how many indexes can be created for a table?

Answer Posted / niranj

You should not create more than five indexes for any one
table because:

Whenever you change table fields that occur in the index,
the index itself is also updated. The amount of data
increases. The optimizer has too many chances to make
mistakes by using the 'wrong' index.


If you are using more than one index for a database table,
ensure that they do not overlap.
