    A spatial index is used by a spatial database to optimize spatial queries. Database systems use indices to quickly look up values by sorting data values in a linear (e.g. alphabetical) order; however, this way of indexing data is not optimal for spatial queries in two- or three-dimensional space.

The same data can have multiple indexes (an employee database could be indexed by last name and hire date). Indexes affect performance, but not ...

Note (6): Can be implemented using Function-based Indexes in Oracle 8i and higher, but the function needs to be used in the sql for the index to be used. Note (7): A PostgreSQL functional index can be used to reverse the order of a field.

  8. MyISAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM

    MySQL uses a .frm file to store the definition of the table, but this file is not a part of the MyISAM engine; instead it is a part of the server. The data file has a .MYD (MYData) extension. The index file has a .MYI (MYIndex) extension. The index file, if lost, can always be recreated by recreating indexes.
