What are indexes and mention different types of indexes?..

Answer / Lakki Rani

Indexes are database objects that speed up data retrieval by creating a quick-access pointer to the data. They allow for faster search, sort, and navigation operations.nnThere are various types of indexes, including:
1. Clustered Index: organizes the data in the table based on the index column.
2. Non-Clustered Index: stores a copy of the indexed columns along with a pointer to the actual data rows.
3. Unique Index: ensures that each indexed value is unique within the table.
4. Primary Key Index: serves as the primary key for the table and enforces uniqueness and integrity constraints.
5. Full-Text Index: optimizes search queries on text data, such as search engines.
