Binary search & sorting algorithms?
 

Fairly quick question here. Been focusing on sort and search algorithms and I was wondering if MySQL databases use binary search to locate data and or a specific sorting algorithm?

Thanks for any insight!

Use EXPLAIN to find out which of the many different ways that SQL can use to find the desired data is being used in a particular situation.

Wow, had no idea something like that existed. Welp, this makes things fun - thanks!
