Sometimes indexes on Exadata are good…. when we were building our customer’s Exadata box we investigated if indexes gave benefit – often the brute-force-on-the-storage-cell will beat an index, but occasionally indexes win… and if they are not of use then why does Exadata-2 allow bitmap indexes to be combined at the storage cell :-)
I would tell the director to save money with Oracle licenses and have his team using flat files to persist the data, I believe it is cheaper than Exadata :)
Ah but are the “wrong” indexes better than no indexes…. I’ve seen some misguided indexes in the past… still see them too
Maybe its EXADATA ? How needs indexes when you can scan data THAT fast.

I’d go with XML to persist data….. ;-)
That might be too complex for someone that does not use index (I sent the last message as any Anonymous, thought Dave would blocked me)
just print it out, and it’ll persist
You backwater database folks! just stick in the cloud! Indexes, schmindexes…
