As an example I may have an "Invoice" table with several thousand invoices. I could design a query/view "Aged" to get all unpaid invoices greater than 15 days old. I would often look for Invoices per Client and should have an index on Invoice(ClientID). e.g. CREATE INDEX Invoice_ClientID ON Invoice(ClientID); Is there any advantage in having an index on ClientID for the Aged query? e.g. CREATE INDEX Aged_ClientID ON Aged(ClientID); Would this index be continually maintained by the RDBMS or only on lookup?
