What is indexing in database with example?..

Answer / Shubhangi

Indexing is a process of creating additional structures to speed up data retrieval within a database. An index is similar to an index at the end of a book, allowing the user to quickly find the required information without searching through the entire document. For example, creating an index on the 'Name' column of a Customer table would allow faster querying based on the customer name.
