Creating an Index
MySQL creates an index for you if you declare a column as a primary key.
The syntax for creating a column looks like the following:
CREATE INDEX indexname ON tablename(columnnamelist);
Creating an Index with the ALTER TABLE Statement
mysql>
mysql> CREATE TABLE myTable
-> (
-> ID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
-> Name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql>
mysql> alter table myTable add index(name);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql>
mysql> drop table myTable;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Deleting Indexes
DROP INDEX indexname ON tablename;
SHOW INDEX FROM Employee;

Using Indexes
An index is a structured file that facilitates data access.
Indexes speed up data access for SELECT queries, but they slow it down for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries.
Indexes also work better on columns that contain unique data.
One index can be made up of one or more columns.
You can also have more than one index in a table.
