Question 129

Which of the following are reasons to create separate indexes? (Choose all that apply.)

    Correct Answer: A, C

    Creating separate indexes is a common practice for ensuring different retention times and restricting user permissions. Different retention times allow for customized data lifecycle management where specific data can be kept for different durations. Additionally, restricting user permissions is crucial for security and compliance, as it enables control over which users can access specific data, thereby maintaining data privacy and adherence to access policies.
