I am trying to index a table. Please advise putting single index on multiple columns is good or indexing each most utilised column is good.Can anybody please send a good article on compound indices verses indexing each column.

Thanks

For speed, covering indexes are best but they also are the slowest to maintain when doing INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE.
