hi this is Syed Mohammed Rizwan,
when we create index for a large table contains some 10 lacks records and more then creating
the index for all columns is good or creating index for onle some columns like emp_num,
branch_num is good, which one gives me the best performance

Creating index on all columns will perform badly.
While DML it is a headache.
Create index only on required columns (for ex. high selectivity columns).
By the way most of them don't know that 10 lacks is a million, please use thousands, millions, billions, etc.

>which one gives me the best performance
It depends.
What is the actual SQL?
How many unique values of each?
On many other factors.

What did your benchmark test show was best?

Only create indexes that will speed up the query you will execute without too much decrease performances on DML.
