For that query, definitely index 2.

Think of it like searching a massive address book. You're trying to find the highest house number for anyone called "John Smith".
  • Index 1 sorts the addresses by house number, and includes the first and last name. You have to start at the end and scan backwards until you find an entry for "John Smith".
  • Index 2 sorts the addresses by first name, then last name, then house number. You can jump straight to the end of the "John Smith" records, and see the highest house number.




"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
