hi

when creating indexes for databases what needs to be indexed? is there an article online that explains it??
 
Any field that is going to be searched or used in the WHERE Clause of a SQL statement and of course Primary Keys and Foreign Keys are fields to index.
 
thank you very much your replies are very helpfull

Indexes are automatically created for primary and foreign keys.

Is this still true if you have to manually fill in foreign keys (e.g. popup forms or something outside a subform)?
