okay cool

nah they're pretty good at most things

but master of none?

so b-trees are the jack of all trades

pretty much

so b-trees are the mvp of indexes

ah okay

so you can tweak it for your workload

before they split

fillfactor is how full nodes can get

like a mop for your database

so the index stays efficient

vacuum cleans up dead rows

okay but what about vacuuming?

haha

or a cheetah
