Definition

An index refers to a field or combination of fields in a table. It sets up a tree structure based on the values of these fields. This tree structure reduces the number of search steps required when reading a data record from the table and thus improves system performance.

A special form of index is the unique index which ensures that each index value refers to a maximum of one table entry.
