A long time ago I briefly worked to help promote a political campaign. The campaign wasn’t for a candidate running for office, but rather an amendment to the state constitution or something along those lines.

How To Create And Add Indexes To MySQL Tables
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been talking about indexes and how they help speed up database searches. I talked about their pros and cons and then talked about the different types of indexes and when each is appropriate.
The Types of Indexes You Can Add To MySQL Tables
As useful as indexes are to finding information in a database, they aren’t all created equal. Sometimes you need to find specific values in a table and sometimes you need to find something inside a specific value, say a blob of text. Not all indexes are suited for every task.
The Benefit Of Using Indexes In Database Tables
It takes time for a database to search through row upon row of information and find specific values. It’s a task made more difficult as rows of data are removed and new ones are added. Over time, data can be stored more randomly than you would think or like. Indexes are a way to overcome this and to help make it quicker to find values in database tables.
