I am creating a new DB and was wondering if there was any downside to adding numerous indexes to tables that I think may require one.
If I create an index but end up not utilizing it will it cause any issues?

Indexes make it faster to search tables, but longer to write to. Having unused indexes will end come causing some unnecessary slow down.
