Query Optimization

Query optimization is the process of improving the performance of a query, which is a request for information from a database. Just like choosing the best route to reach a destination quickly, query optimization selects the most efficient method to retrieve data. This involves analyzing different ways to execute a query, reducing unnecessary tasks, and making use of indexes or other database features. The goal is to minimize the time and resources needed to get the desired results, ensuring faster and more efficient data retrieval.
