Force SQL Server to use index

If your table has too many indexes, then I figured out that it is better to force your SQL Server query to use the index which is made for that particular query.

To force the use of index,

SELECT *
FROM tablename WITH (INDEX = IDX_1234)
WHERE Column1 = 'value'

In this example IDX_1234 is the name of the Index.
