Hi
If an index is having a low first key cardf, relatively small as compared to the full cardf, then how good is that index? |

It depends :
How many matching Cols is that index (mostly) used
Is the index used in Sort Avoidance
Is the index used for R.I. checking
A low firstkeycardf says very little about the "quality" of an index. |
