vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2005 What are indexes, what are the different kinds, and how do they differ? Also, why and how do I use them. Most of the tutorials I have found for SQL have them, but don't really specify why they have them. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major search engines have the best indexing technologie in the world...Which is why their results load so fast Example....GOOGLE--Hope that helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
