I've just started looking at how the Access 2k Upsizing tool is creating indexes in the corresponding upsized SQL Server tables. It seems to create multiple indexes for the same field, I think adding an extra index for a relationship, i.e.
Say Contracts-Sites tables have relationship Contracts.SiteID==Sites.SiteID then the indexes created on the Contracts table are:
index_name = "SiteID", index_keys = "SiteID"
index_name = "SitesContracts", index_keys = "SiteID"
What is the point of having two indexes on the same field? Should I be manually (what a job!) getting rid the extras? Does maintaing these extra indexes impinge in performance?
