An index is a sorted copy of one or more columns of the table. When you search against a table using the WHERE clause it will use an index when possible, if not it will search the entire table.

i’m a fresher in database. could you please let me know more about index. You have stated that when we use index, the values are already sorted. so while search, it will go to the correct location. which search does this DB use basically?
