  • Indexes are essentially duplicate copies of data (think index at the back of a text book). Since the data's repeated, inserts and updates have to do more work.

    How much more? Well, that you'll have to test and see, see if it's a problem in your scenario with your number of indexes.

  • Hii Gail,

    in my scenario only 2 indexes are created one is clustered and other is nonclustered

    clustered index is created on 1 column which i want to change and create on multiple columns(as per requirement).

    but my doubt is "index on 1 column" and "index on multiple columns" which one will or can cause problems to insert,update?
