Discuss when it is best to use indexes

What will be an ideal response?


You should always specify a primary key index for each table. Also, indexes are most useful on larger tables. Columns that frequently appear in WHERE clauses of SQL statements are good candidates for indexes as well as those fields referenced by WHERE clauses and GROUP BY clauses. Any field where there is a wide variety of values is also a good candidate. One should use caution when creating indexes, however, since indexes do require overhead and must be updated for each insert, delete and update. This can cause significant overhead if there are a large number of transactions taking place against the database.
