How does index makes search faster?



How does index makes search faster?..

Answer / Arun Dwivedi

An index is a database object that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a table by organizing the data in such a way that it can be found more quickly. The index contains keys that reference the location of the rows where the specific data resides, allowing SQL Server to avoid scanning every row in a table during a search.
