• Hi

    The total space of

    CREATE INDEX IX_1

    ON 123 (A)

    INCLUDE (B,C,D)

    and

    CREATE INDEX IX_2

    ON 123 (A)

    INCLUDE (E,F,G,H)

    will take more space than

    CREATE INDEX IX_1

    ON 123 (A)

    INCLUDE (B,C,D,E,F,G,H)

    The selectivity of each index is same. You don't need two indexes in this case.

    My suggestion is to go with the second option, i.e. the index covering all columns (B,C,D,E,F,G,H).

    Regards,
