Steeve,

In one of the projects i came across a table as
follows,

a composite patitioned table bcall (
BC_ID number,
DATE_END date,
ACCOUNT_NUMBER number
BILL_CYCLE_REPORT 
BC_TYPE)

with indexes
1. IDX_BC_DTACC         (DATE_END, ACCOUNT_NUMBER)

2. IDX_BC_COMP_KEY1     (ACCOUNT_NUMBER,BILL_CYCLE_REPORT,
BC_TYPE)

most of the querries are using index 1 but when index
2 is used they are much faster,

can I just drop the index 1, my fellow dba says, we
cannot drop this index since it is used in range/hash
partition the data.

please advise

thanks
Srinivas
