Index simply means sorting of data. Let u stake an example :
EmpID Name
1 A
6 B
5 C
9 D
...
...
2 ZZ
Now if we create index (Talking about btree index) on EmpId
it means creating a segment with the following in sorted
order
EmpId Rowid
1 <some value>
2 ....
5 ...
6 ...
...
Now if we want to search with EmpId, it will do a binary
search and get the rowid in few searches
