SQL API Reference - Create Index

About the Index

This page provides comprehensive information about the SQL API Reference and how to create indexes. It helps you optimize your database queries for better performance.

Create Index

Creating an index is a critical step for improving the speed of queries that use specific columns. An index speeds up search operations by allowing the database engine to quickly locate the rows that match your query criteria without scanning the entire table.

The SQL API Reference provides a detailed explanation of how to create different types of indexes – single-column, composite, and more – along with considerations for choosing the right index type for your needs.

Example

Here's a simple example of how to create a single-column index:

To create a single-column index on the 'customer_id' column, use the following SQL command:

                CREATE INDEX idx_customer_id ON table_name (customer_id);
