What if index using index is not sufficient [message #65882]

Dear All,
A query is using the index provided properly. But it still is a bottleneck in the application. Is there any alternative in this situation?

Regards,

Some open doors:

- Index <> Fast, at least not always.
- There is always 1 most expensive statement in every application

If your statement is expensive, and it is 'tuned to the bone', see if you can change your logic, causing the statement to be executed less often.

But Frank,
I will be carrying heavy overhead on the disk IO side if i use a lot of indexes.

Who said 'use a lot of indexes'?

And what do you mean using indexes will cause heavy I/O overhead ?

As frank said, how do you say that there is a bottleneck with indexes?
Is there any measurable unit here?
a statspack report or trace output?
