About Indexes. Indexes are optional structures associated with tables and clusters that allow SQL statements to execute more quickly against a table. Just as the index in this manual helps you locate information faster than if there were no index, an Oracle Database index provides a faster access path to table data.
How Indexes Are Stored. All SQL Server data is physically organized and stored in data pages. Unlike other relational database management systems, SQL Server does not provide the option of choosing the page size for different data types or tables. All SQL Server pages are 8KB in size. When you create primary or secondary database files, SQL Server allocates pages and extents for data storage. Each page has a number, starting from 0; the number of the last page in the database is determined by the database file size.
