BAs should understand basic indexing concepts to identify performance-related issues during analysis.
In one project, a dashboard was slow, and understanding indexing helped me discuss solutions with the DBA.
It helps in writing better requirements, especially for large datasets.
If a report requires frequent filtering on specific columns, I can proactively suggest indexing.
It improves collaboration with technical teams during query optimization discussions.
Understanding indexing also helps interpret query execution delays.
It allows me to ask the right questions when performance issues arise.
Overall, it makes me more effective in bridging business needs with technical solutions.
