Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: concept of indexes
well, from what i understand, indexes are only an entity that we ask to be
put, but really have no control over... So rather than "using" an index,
it's more like "putting one in place".. right?? It just helps the computer
search faster when using "where" clauses or something, but takes up more
space in memory... right??
