What are the benefits of filtered indexes?..

Answer / Jaspreet Kaur

"Filtered indexes" in SQL Server provide several benefits, including improved query performance, reduced storage space, and enhanced data compression. By creating an index only on a subset of data (based on specified filter conditions), SQL Server can quickly find the relevant rows for queries without having to scan the entire table. This leads to faster query execution times, particularly when dealing with large datasets.
