Hi all,

If I alter index adding a column,would it effect the application programs.
Do they need to be recompiled again.

Please suggest me.

Hello,

It will help if you post what you "had" and how it was changed - both the data column(s) and the index definition(s).

If you are only adding a column to the index, I would suggest rebinding inorder to take advantage of the 'new' index.
The DBRM will not have changed - unless you change the SQL, so no need to reprecompile and recompile.
