Answer

  1. Indexing improves query performance by enabling faster data retrieval.
  2. ORM tools may generate more complex queries, which can benefit from indexing but may not utilize indexes effectively if they don’t translate well to SQL.
  3. The overhead of maintaining indexes must be considered, as they can slow down insert and update operations.
  4. Choose the right type of index (e.g., single-column vs. composite) based on query patterns.
