Adding an index should affect query performance, but reports can change if the query plan exposes different join behavior, collation, null handling, or stale statistics. A faster query is not proof that it returns the same business result.
Compare query text, execution plan, database version, collation, statistics, and row counts before and after the change. Validate a controlled set of records and confirm report filters and joins are unchanged.
Treat unexpected result differences as a data correctness issue, not just a tuning outcome. Reconcile outputs, document the change, and keep performance and accuracy checks together.
Informatix Systems provides data engineering and analytics services. We can review the affected setup, narrow down likely causes, and help plan a practical fix. Contact us with the platform involved, when the issue began, and non-sensitive error details.
