>>even if no unique it would still be fast and you must be doing that for login validation >

I don't think alias is indexed. Even if it is, it's not unique. Nor is it used for login validation; that's username (a.k.a. LoginID), a different field and different value for 99% of accounts.


alias               accounts    
------------------- ----------- 
Mike                 144
John                 117
Steve                112
bob                  107
Jim                  104

The same is true of subject titles - not unique.
