Hi

If you don;t define an index then the database will scan the entire table every time you access that table. Always define at least one index.

If you want to find all the tables in Ax that have no indexes then you can use the following X++ code...

    SQLDictionary   dict;
    DictTable       dictTable;

    ;
    while select dict
    where dict.fieldId == 0 // only tablenames
    {
        dictTable = new DictTable(dict.tabId);
        if ( dictTable.indexCnt() == 0 && ! dictTable.isView() )
        {
            info(strfmt("Table %1 has no indexes", dictTable.name()));
        }
    }

I think for AX2012, the recid index is always created by default.
