Is this table/index now suitable to be a IOT, it will certainly save some space on an 18M row table

list, based on the recommendation of posters (Jack) , i re-created the index with all the columns of a table ! (all 8 of them) analyzed the table/index and now all the queries are satisfied off an indexed
range scan..

i also put the indexes on raw devices.
