Indexing is one of the most powerful ways to boost the performance of your SQL queries. In this tutorial, we’ll explore B-Tree, B+Tree, and Hash indexes step-by-step using a Students table example.
We’ll:
- Create a Students table
- Insert sample data
- Build three types of indexes
- Run queries using each index
- Observe how indexing improves retrieval speed
Create the Table
Insert Sample Records
Create a B-Tree Index on roll_no
Query Using the B-Tree Index
Query Using the B+ Tree Index
Query Using the Hash Index
Conclusion
In this blog, we learned how to:
-Create B-Tree, B+Tree, and Hash indexes
-Execute optimized queries
-Understand which index type fits which use case
Indexes make retrieval blazing fast but also consume storage and slow down updates slightly. So, always index wisely!
