Index Optimization Question

2
Hi All,

I am trying to figure out the best way to index a file where I have to use the following fields to gain access.

We have a PF with maybe 120 fields, and easliy 750,000 records. One key field is Customer Code (6a) CUCODE and the other is a Customer Family Code (6a) CUFMCD. Note that the CUCODE <> CUFMCD or it would be a breeze. I have to retrieve records as follows:

WHERE CUCODE='X' or CUFMCD='X'

what is the most efficient index to build over this file to get what I need in one pass? it seems to me you would need to read the whole file to get the result set, unless I am missing something.

I appreciate any advise you can provide me :)

Thanks,

Rayden.
