Is there a performance trade-off between column indexes and record
inserts?
I know that in MS Access there is such a trade-off. This being indexes
make SQL queries perform faster at the cost of record insert speed. Put
another way, the more column indexes in a table, the slower a record
insert in that table performs.
Is there a similar trade-off in PostgreSQL?
