What is difference between index seek vs. Index scan?

Answer Posted / Chandrakant Giri

{"index_seek_vs_scan": "Index seek is a fast method of retrieving rows from an index when the query uses an SEEK operation and specifies an exact value or range for the key column(s). In contrast, index scan reads all the pages of the index sequentially to fetch the required data. Scans are slower than seeks but may be necessary for queries that don't have a specific key value or seek criteria."}
