Thanks to a great posting by empath-e on optimizing indexes within databases that have been upgarded from previous versions I started looking through our own indexes since they have grown out of a 5.x database. In rebuilding indexes I saw that Sage's approved index script "Sample MSSQL Indexes" calls for indexing the alternatekeysuffix and alternatekeyprefix fields in the Account and Contact table. But in my database and I assume all other databases these fields are blank. Is there a reason that they are adding an index for these non-used fields?
Just curious.
Thanks.

Hi Tedd
Thanks for your comments. No, these are "throw-backs" from the old Opis system. I don't recommend adding them - no need !
