What technical problem you will face if you create many secondary indexes.

Answer Posted / pratap

Secondary indexes should contain columns that you use frequently in a selection, and that are as highly selective as possible.

Only 9 Indexes allowed

from efficiency point of view only 5 can be created because
You should not create more than five indexes for any one

table because:

Whenever you change table fields that occur in the index,the index itself is also updated. The amount of data increases. The optimizer has too many chances to make mistakes by using the 'wrong' index.

If you are using more than one index for a database table,ensure that they do not overlap.
