(Re)-indexing on updates

Hi,


Say I have a table with column A, B, C, D

A has a unique index on it (primary key)

B and C have a normal index on it

D has no index


If I perform a query like    update tbl set D = 'whatever' ;

that should make no difference on the indexes on the other columns,
right ?


Or is there some kind of mechanism that does create a sort of new
record, thus makes the indexes go wild.


Met vriendelijke groeten,

Bien à vous,

Kind regards,
