Talk:Index (database)/to do

Want to help? Here are some suggestions for improving this article:
 * 1) Merge "Bitmap Index" and "Dense Index" into this article (please post comments by 5/19/2007)
 * 2) Expand discussion of database physical indexing (B-tree, B+ tree, hash tables, etc.) and examples of products that use each type
 * 3) Expanded discussion of nonclustered versus clustered indexes
 * 4) Discussion of index impact on query and other operation performance
 * 5) Discussion of "covering" index (Done DesmondW (talk))
 * 6) Discussion of index strategies from other databases (i.e., xBase, Random Access Files, XML indexing)
 * 7) Consider adding graphics where appropriate (possibly images of index structures?)
 * 8) Indicate advantages and disadvantages of indexes; help in understanding the concept's relevancy
