Subject: Indexes advantageous on foreign key columns
Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:33:01 -0400
Message-ID: <4BFD695D.4030005@nasa.gov> (raw)

Was hoping that someone would like to discuss the need for indexes on 
columns that are referenced in a foreign key.  Are they necessary?  Are 
they worth the overhead?   PostgreSQL version 8.4

thanks,  Maria Wilson
