  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Database Query Optimization

Table of Contents

Overview

Slow database queries are a common performance bottleneck. Optimization through indexing, efficient queries, and caching dramatically improves application performance.

When to Use

  • Slow response times
  • High database CPU usage
  • Performance regression
  • New feature deployment
  • Regular maintenance

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

-- Analyze query performance

EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT users.id, users.name, COUNT(orders.id) as order_count
FROM users
LEFT JOIN orders ON users.id = orders.user_id
WHERE users.created_at > '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY users.id, users.name
ORDER BY order_count DESC;

-- Results show:
-- - Seq Scan (slow) vs Index Scan (fast)
-- - Rows: actual vs planned (high variance = bad)
-- - Execution time (milliseconds)

-- Key metrics:
-- - Sequential Scan: Full table read (slow)
-- - Index Scan: Uses index (fast)
-- - Nested Loop: Joins with loops
-- - Sort: In-memory or disk sort
