Re: Composite Index question

I know there is no benfit of having duplicate indexes.
Inorder for me to make change on production it requires lot of approvals and stuff.

I wnat to know if there is any major performance drawback for having duplicate composite index, so that i can push hard for the change. Let me know.

thanks for your looking into this.
