Indices can be used as accelerators, due to them assisting the database servers navigation through the existing data.Data can be found faster and the response time significantly reduced. It has occurred, that one or two well-chosen indices can reduce the response time of a query from several hours to a few minutes. This also has an impact on the used hardware. Which therefore can be considerably smaller, or rather reduce utilization.

Good knowledge of indices and their use are rare. but it’s potential yet enormous.
