What is indexing in mysql and how do we create indexing in
mysql
Answer Posted / ramesh n
Indexes are created on a per column basis. If you have a
table with the columns: name, age, birthday and employeeID
and want to create an index to speed up how long it takes to
find employeeID values in your queries, then you would need
to create an index for employeeID. When you create this
index, MySQL will build a lookup index where employeeID
specific queries can be run quickly. However, the name, age
and birthday queries would not be any faster.
Indexes are something extra that you can enable on your
MySQL tables to increase performance,cbut they do have some
downsides. When you create a new index MySQL builds a
separate block of information that needs to be updated every
time there are changes made to the table. This means that if
you are constantly updating, inserting and removing entries
in your table this could have a negative impact on performance.
