Hi All,
In my DWH DB I have a table with few million rows. I have a column in the table having 15 distinct values. That column is being used in the where clause of the queries. What I am interested to know is would it be beneficial to create a bitmap index on it.


Is there any specific ratio (distincy values)/(Num of rows) at which one must consider creating bitmap indexes rather than b-tree indexes?
