    - Indexing is defined based on its indexing attributes.

    - The different types of Indexing are:

    Primary Index
    - It is defined as an ordered data file.
    - The data file is ordered on a key field.
    - The key field is generally the primary key of the relation.

    Secondary Index
    - This index may be generated from a field which is a candidate key and has a unique value in every record, or a non-key with duplicate values.

    Clustering Index
    - This index is defined on an ordered data file.
    - The data file is ordered on a non-key field.
