Ever noticed your database query running super slow? 🤔 99% chances are… you’re missing an index! In this 30-second SpanCoders tech short, we quickly explain: • What causes a SQL query to slow down • Why missing indexes destroy performance • How databases scan entire tables without an index • How adding the right index speeds up queries instantly • Why developers must understand indexing • Practical real-world example • Best practices for indexing (simple explanation) 💡 What is an Index? An index in a database acts like the index of a book. Instead of searching every row (full table scan), the DB jumps directly to the required data. Result → 10x to 100x faster performance ⚡ 🔥 Signs you’re missing an index • Queries taking seconds instead of milliseconds • Slow JOIN operations • WHERE conditions checking many rows • High CPU usage on the database • Query plan shows “TABLE SCAN” SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = 'test@mail.com'; and email column is NOT indexed… The DB will search every single row → very slow 😞 Add an index → query becomes instant 🚀 🎯 Tip: Create indexes on columns used in • WHERE • JOIN • ORDER BY • GROUP BY ⚠️ But avoid creating too many indexes — they slow down insert/update operations. This short video explains indexing in the simplest way possible using real examples. If you’re learning backend, full stack, SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB — this is must-know knowledge. 👇 Follow SpanCoders for more: • Tech facts • Coding concepts • Backend basics • JavaScript, React, Node • Database optimization • Full-stack tips in 30 seconds!
