A secondary index provides a secondary means of accessing a data file for which
some primary access already exists. The data file records could be ordered,
unordered, or hashed. The secondary index may be created on a field that is a candidate key and has a unique value in every record, or on a nonkey field with duplicate values.

So we need to have primary index too. Assuming we used 1 column for that, we have 4 columns remaining, using which we can have max 4 secondary indexes !
