In a database management system (DBMS), the data types that are efficiently indexed include:
- Numeric types (integer, float) — enable fast comparison and range queries.
- String types (varchar, text) — especially with prefix or full-text indexes.
- Date and time — for quick searches over time ranges.
- Boolean values — although indexing may be less effective with low selectivity.
- Geospatial data — using spatial indexes like R-trees.
It is important to note that indexes are most effective when data has high selectivity, meaning queries using the index significantly reduce the number of records processed.
Example: an index on the email field in a user table speeds up searches for a specific email.
