| Creating an index would help even if there are some duplicates. How much it would help depends on the so-called selectivity. For example, if a column had the same value in all rows, an index on that column is not going to help. Does the table have a primary key and is that column(s) involved in the query? If you can post the query along with the schema of the table, people on the forum would be able to offer more concrete suggestions. |
