thanks, so I should definivetely add more years, but I still arent sure if this is true or not:
As I understood you need index when you use where clause for the column and there are many rows, however not sure its true but I also read somewhere that if the values of the column is repeated many times you should not index the columns.
Column cal_date I have as index, and that column have repeated values, ie,
if I have 50 properties, then the same date is repeated 50 times.
Column property I dont know if I should do index or not as I use it in where clauses same as column cal_date, however the value in this column is repeated 352 times per year, one per each daterow.
If this is not true, then I should also do a index of column property....
