PostgreSQL Index Scan

Visualize a standard Index Scan in PostgreSQL execution plans.

SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 12345;

An Index Scan searches a B-tree or other index structure to find specific rows. It is typically much faster than a Sequential Scan for finding a small number of rows in a large table.
