Understanding Indexes in SQL Server 2008

Understanding the fundamentals of how indexes work and how they are best utilized is an essential part of any DBA or SQL developer's repertoire. Many people assume if you create an index on a column or columns of a table that it will automatically be used when you reference that column. While that may be true under some conditions the actual usage depends on several key factors and they may surprise you. We will cover the fundamentals of how the indexes work under the covers and why you need to know this in order to ensure your indexes are actually helping and not hurting your performance.
