Having an index created on that table does not mean that SQL Server will necessarily use it. In some situations, SQL Server finds that scanning the underlying table is faster than using the index, especially when the table is small, or the query returns most of the table records. Let us ...

However, their impact may be limited if your queries are inefficient because of poor table design that results in too many join operations or in inefficient join operations. Schema design is a key performance factor. It also provides information to the server that may be used to optimize query...
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications and databases that contain heavily updated tables should avoid over-indexing. Additionally, indexes should be narrow, that is, with as few columns as possible. Large numbers of indexes on a table affect the performance of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and...
SQL Server detects the changes that invalidate an execution plan and marks the plan as not valid. A new plan must then be recompiled for the next connection that executes the query. The conditions that invalidate a plan include: Changes made to a table or view re...
