what is the maximum number of indexes i can create for a
table?
What happens if i create indexes for all the columns of a
table? Will it slow down the speed of retrieval

Answer Posted / nawazish sultan

In sql server 2005 we create 250 indexes (1 clustered + 249
non clustered) where as in sql server 2008 it 999.
It is not a best practice to create indexes on all the
columns.Create index on whichever it is necessary becoz it
wont affect too much on DRL but it will obviously slowdown
the DML operation.
