I have a table as follows:
------------------------------------------------
Table Artist Colaborations
------------------------------------------------
* car_id (integer field, primary key)
* car_song (integer field, foreign key, foreign table is a catalog of songs)
* car_artist (integer field, foreign key, foreign table is a catalog of artists)

So, I added 2 indexes to improve JOIN in queries:
1. An index for car_song which accepts duplicates.
2. An index for car_artist which accepts duplicates.

Now, the combination of "car_song + car_artist" cannot be duplicated so I think that adding a constraint on these 2 fields is the solution.

My question: Is this the correct way to go?

Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado
