sangoku Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hy i have a bit of a dilemma i have a bit of a dilemma, am making a keyword database and am stuck with few 2 options that i can think of. 1. use a auto increment row together with a crc row which represents the value of the keyword, so all in all 2 int rows and 1 varchar row 2. use just a simple varchar row and reference it. but here is the tricky part: i have make 2 indexes in the first case. One for the crc value and one for the auto increment value. And in other one i need only 1 index which would hit 100%of the time while the first one would have duplicate entries (crc values are not unique) so i would have to post calculate it... My question is which is more smart/faster to use the index on a varchar column or to use 2 int indexes?? Keywords can become pretty long more than 25 chars and can also be small like 4-5 chars... AND there will be no deletes means no delete and mazbe some small edits but not in the row that is indexed.
