Hello fellow weekend-workers <g>,

I am changing a candidate key on many of my tables from a single field to a composite expression (e.g. TBL_ID_FLD + BINTOC(TBL_INT_FLD)). My question is, do I also need to create a regular index on the TBL_ID_FLD in order for Rushmore to find records faster? That is, will Rushmore use the composite index key? (and if so, I can save on not having to create an extra index tag).

Thank you in advance for any questions.
