Hi ,

I have a table where size is increasing daily. In that table only inserts
and deletes happens. This table is referencing 15 other tables. We have
given delete cascade, so if a row is deleted in parent table, the matching
records will also be deleted in those child tables.

It is taking lot of time to delete. So, I am planning to create index on
those child tables.

My question is, apart from inserts, I am only going to delete records from
those tables. How index improves performance for deleting records? How
index is affected or how to do index management in this case?
