Hello vamseepotti,

Usage of subscripts and indexes totally depend on the programmer

Generally indexing is used when the table is large and if we want to search for specific occurance of the field, and if the table is relatively small then we use subscripting.

Hope this helps,

Regards

Mayuresh Tendulkar
