How does indexing impact write operations (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE) in a database?
- Indexing can slow down write operations due to the overhead of maintaining indexes
- Indexing depends on the type of database engine being used
- Indexing has no impact on write operations
- Indexing speeds up write operations by organizing data efficiently
Indexing can slow down write operations because every INSERT or UPDATE operation requires the index to be updated, which adds overhead. This trade-off between read and write performance should be carefully considered when designing databases.
