How does indexing improve query performance?

Answer Posted / praveen

By creating index on single or multiple columns, query
takes index access path instead of full table scan. Full
table scan is costilier operation where it has to visit all
rows in the table whereas index operation just accesses the
index sub table with required hash value and joins with the
basetable using rowid. This improves response time and
performance of the query.
