The basic building blocks of a database are tables and indexes. A table is a collection of data stored in a database. In a relational database, tables are typically designed to model real-world objects and the relationships that exist between them. A table is organized as a two-dimensional structure consisting of rows and columns.

A database index is a logical database structure used to improve the speed and efficiency of data access.  database index is constructed based on a unique key, and it contains pointers
to the underlying rows within the table that match the key.
