Run mailcatcher, set your favourite app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025 instead of your default SMTP server, then check out http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the mail that's arrived so far.

1. gem install mailcatcher
2. mailcatcher
3. Click on http://127.0.0.1:1080

Add the below code in environments/development.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }

You can trigger any mail then it will display immediately.

How Database index is functioning?

Indexing is a way to optimize the performance of a database by minimizing the number of disk accesses required when a query is processed. It is a data structure technique which is used to quickly locate and access the data in a database.

Indexes are created using a few database columns.

1. The first column is the Search key that contains a copy of the primary key or candidate key of the table. These values are stored in sorted order so that the corresponding data can be accessed quickly.
2. Note: The data may or may not be stored in sorted order.
3. The second column is the Data Reference or Pointer which contains a set of pointers holding the address of the disk block where that particular key value can be found.
