AFAIK using non-nullable Bit is the best way to hint to SQL to use an optimization similar to INDEX ... BINARY of vfp.
Still I doubt the effect will be as marked as of using a binary index in vfp across LAN/WAN, as SQL has better access to saved physical data.
Indeces with low selectivity/cardinality are suspect, probably ONLY helpful if selecting/filtering minuscle subset of all records, eliminating table scan of majority which will be discarded.
