Hi!

I posted a message "Help!...Records Inserted into the table competely lost.." a little while ago relating to this question
but I want to ask another related question:

How many indexes it too many?
The table has 8 out of its 16 columns indexed and only has insert activity in it no deleted, updates.

Is this a performance problem or potential problem here.
I know about Oracle as a DBA and I would deffinetly
critize this number of indexes on a table of this type for insert performance but I have found foxpro indexes to be extremely unstable.
I often have to drop the cdx file and reindex twice a week on this table.

Problem is all the foxpro code does stuff like.
set order to tag blah
seek blahblah

Is this a/the problem???
