SQL Indexing
From Suhrid.net Wiki
These are notes that I took about SQL Indexing from http://use-the-index-luke.com
Introduction
- An index makes a SQL query fast.
- An index is a distinct structure in the DB that requires its own space.
- A DB index is similar to index of a book - key concept is all entries are arranged in a well-defined order. Finding data in an ordered set is fast and easy because the sort order determines each entries position.
