 hi ,
  I wanted to know whether it is better (speed-wise) to have more
  indexes .Or one should try to have less number of them , so that
  as much as possible all can be stored 'in-memory'? Or is it
  that they are loaded 'in-memory' only after the analyzer
  decides which of them to use?
   I am having 12 indexes on 6 tables(they are huge with 0.5 million
   rows in each).
 thanks for any help
