Q1Domain Verified
Within the context of "The Complete MySQL Indexing & Performance Tuning Course 2026," what is the primary advantage of a composite index over multiple single-column indexes for a query filtering on `(col1, col2)`?
A composite index can satisfy queries that filter on `col1` only, whereas individual indexes cannot.
A composite index can be used to satisfy queries filtering on `col1` and `col2` together, and potentially `col1` alone, more efficiently than separate indexes.
Composite indexes are always smaller in storage size than the sum of individual indexes.
MySQL automatically merges single-column indexes into an optimal composite index when it detects common query patterns.

The "Complete MySQL Indexing & Performance Tuning Course 2026" emphasizes understanding index selectivity. If a query involves a `WHERE` clause with `status = 'active'` and `status = 'inactive'` (which is syntactically incorrect but conceptually explores filtering), what would be a characteristic of a *highly selective* index on the `status` column in this context?
The index would be less effective if the query involved a range scan on the `status` column.
The index would have a high cardinality, meaning most rows have distinct status values.
The index would allow MySQL to quickly narrow down the search to a very small subset of rows.
The index would have a low cardinality, meaning a few distinct status values cover a large percentage of the rows.
Q3Domain Verified
According to the principles taught in "The Complete MySQL Indexing & Performance Tuning Course 2026," when encountering a query that frequently uses `ORDER BY col1` and `WHERE col2 = 'some_value'`, what is the optimal indexing strategy to consider for improving performance?
Create a composite index on `(col2, col1)`.
Create a single-column index on `col2`.
Create a single-column index on `col1`.
Create a composite index on `(col1, col2)`.
