Re: DBIMPORT and indexes

Steve, Actually I was talking crap. Ignore it. I wrote it on a hot afternoon and when I later read it, though I aught to send out a retraction but didn't get round to it. I made my statement whilst watching the schema scolling past during a dbimport. In my half asleep state, my observations led me to believe that it was perhaps loading the table then creating the indexes. I believe this would be the sensible way to do it (V5 or earlier) and cannot think of a reasonable argument for it not to do it this way. Lets see what responses this gets.
