Ans. 
Data types that can be used as keys in Python include strings, integers, floats, tuples, and custom objects.
• Strings are commonly used as keys in Python dictionaries.

• Integers and floats can also be used as keys.

• Tuples can be used as keys if they only contain immutable elements.

• Custom objects can be used as keys if they are hashable.

• Examples: {'name': 'John'}, {1: 'apple'}, {(1, 2): 'tuple'}

Q5. What types of indexing exist in SQL?
Ans. 
Types of indexing in SQL include clustered, non-clustered, unique, and composite indexes.
• Clustered index physically reorders the table based on the index key
