Index for low selectivity field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A table has a column "obj_type" which has very low selectivity (let's
say 5 choices, with the top choice making up 50% of records).  Is
there any sense in indexing that column? B-trees won't be that useful,
and the docs discourage other index types/
