What is the major difference between 'uing where' and 'using index' in EXPLAIN plan of MYSQL.
I think this is just the searching for the records from disc vs searching from memory respectively.
Thanks, -UDAY
The documentation explains the difference:
Using index
means the requested column data can be fetched from the index only, without having to read the row data proper.
Using where
means the index is actually used for lookups, instead of only for fetching the requested column data.
