Understanding and Using MySQL Indexes
Indexes are data structures that improve the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table.

In MySQL, indexes can be applied to columns to speed up queries involving those columns.
Indexes can be created when a table is first created or added later using the CREATE INDEX statement.
