RE: Question about Append hint in Insert

one small correction: non-unique indexes do *not* allocate more space...
both unique and non-unique indexes contain ROWID values, obviously.
the difference is that the ROWID values are part of the key value for
non-unique indexes,
and they are part of the entry header for unique indexes.
Cheers,
Lex.

Are there some other problems, overheads etc. additional to the fact, that
the non-unique index allocates more space (additional ROWID in each index
entry) as the unique index with the same indexed columns?
