SQL Optimization Techniques

SQL optimization techniques are methods to improve database performance by reducing query execution time and resource usage. Some common techniques include indexing to quickly find data, avoiding wildcards which slow down queries, and normalization to divide data into smaller tables and reduce redundancy. Other techniques involve using appropriate data types, correct join types, efficient WHERE clauses, and monitoring performance regularly.

SQL optimization techniques are
methods to improve the
performance of SQL databases by
reducing query execution time
and reducing resource usage.

Some common SQL optimization


techniques are :
Indexing.
Avoiding using Wildcards.
Normalization.
Using appropriate Data types.
Using correct Join types.
Writing efficient WHERE clauses.
Using aggregate functions wisely.
Avoiding using subqueries.
Use proper storage & backup methods.
Monitoring performance.

1.Indexing :
Using indexes to quickly find data in
tables, reducing the number of rows that
need to be scanned.

Eg - Creating an index on a column used


in the WHERE clause of a query can
speed up the query execution time.

2. Avoid using wildcards :
Wildcards slow down queries and should
be used sparingly.

3. Normalization :
Normalization divides data into smaller,
more manageable tables, reducing data
redundancy and improving data
integrity.

4.Use appropriate data types :
Use the smallest data type that can
accommodate your data to save disk
space and improve performance.

5. Use the correct join type :
Choosing the correct join type can
improve query performance and return
the expected results.

6.Write efficient WHERE clauses :
Use the correct comparison operators
and avoid using complex expressions in
WHERE clauses to improve query
performance.

7. Use aggregate functions wisely :
Aggregate functions like SUM, AVG, and
COUNT can simplify complex queries and
improve performance.

8. Avoid using subqueries :
Subqueries can slow down queries and
reduce performance. Consider
alternative methods like joins or
temporary tables.

9. Use proper storage and
backup methods :
Proper storage and backup methods can
ensure data availability and
recoverability in case of data loss.

10. Monitor performance :
Monitor performance regularly to
detect and resolve performance issues,
and to identify opportunities for
optimization.
