  • RE: index on temp table

    Both options should work fine. Without seeing the code you ran and the error that you got, I can't tell you why it didn't work.

  • RE: Ignoring indexes upon data modification?

    You can drop or disable the index. Disabling it deletes the entire index tree structure, just leaves the metadata behind. You'll have to rebuild the index to re-enable it.
