MySql indexing

37
Hi,

I have a MySql database with a table called products. The table consist of over 1000000 records and increasing. This table is frequently updated with new products. Therefore several insert, update, delete queries are carried out daily to keep the catalogue upto date (approx 100,000 products added,updated,deleted daily). The table is constantly searched by customers via product name, code and additional fields which have been indexed in the database.

However with the constant update of this table should I remove the indexes on the above fields? How fast can MySQL recreate/update indexes on a table of this many records!
