Hi ,
I have two tables in Oracle 10g

Table Customer
Table Address

Table customer contains the customer Id and customer name

Table Address contains the customer id and address

Lets say few of the customers in customer table have addresses in the address in address table. But all the address have a corresponding customer.
In other words the cardinality is 1:0..N

Now would it help in creating the binary index on customer id column, if i plan to join these tables on the customer id.

There is a Pk on customer id in the customer table and address id in the address table.

Please help.

Thanks

Do you have multiple entries in Address table for a CustomerId.

Then you must be having foreign key index on the Address table.

Foreign key must be indexed when in your application if you modify the primary key of referenced table regularly.

But that's a bad design.

i don't understand the problem properly because you have not posted a testcase and what problem you are getting.

To get more clear results please post what you have tried.
and what exactly you are looking for.

Always post a Test case.

Test Case

Yes it may help for the queries you didn't post and it may also help for the foreign you should have on address table.
