Query Examples

Learn from examples of good and bad SQL queries to improve your database performance.

Using Specific Columns

Select only needed columns instead of using SELECT *

Before:
SELECT * FROM users
After:
SELECT id, name, email FROM users

Reduces data transfer and processing overhead by selecting only required columns.

Efficient JOINs

Use proper JOIN conditions and table ordering

Before:
SELECT *
FROM orders o
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = o.user_id
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM order_items) oi ON oi.order_id = o.id
After:
SELECT o.id, o.date, u.name, oi.product_id
FROM users u
INNER JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
INNER JOIN order_items oi ON oi.order_id = o.id

Uses appropriate JOIN types, avoids subqueries in JOINs, and selects specific columns.

Indexed WHERE Clause

Utilize indexes effectively in WHERE conditions

Before:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE YEAR(created_at) = 2024
After:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at >= '2024-01-01' AND created_at < '2025-01-01'

Allows the query to use indexes on created_at column instead of computing YEAR for each row.
