Optimize Your

SELECT
Statements for
Faster Queries!
SELECT statements retrieve data from
databases, but poorly optimized
queries can slow things down.

@DATASAPIENT
1 Avoid SELECT * in Queries

Be specific about the columns you


need.
Because SELECT * loads all columns,
slowing down performance.

@DATASAPIENT
2 Use Indexes on Required
Columns

Indexes speed up data retrieval by


limiting rows scanned.
Focus on columns frequently used in
WHERE, JOIN, or ORDER BY.

@DATASAPIENT
Avoid Functions in WHERE
3 Clause
Problem: Functions in WHERE clauses prevent
indexes from being used.
Non-optimized Query:

Optimized Query:

@DATASAPIENT
4 Avoid Leading Wildcards in
LIKE

Problem: % at the start of a string


forces a full scan.
Solution: Use trailing wildcards or
reverse column design.

@DATASAPIENT
5 Use INNER JOIN for
Efficiency

INNER JOIN is faster than OUTER


JOIN because it only returns
matching rows.

@DATASAPIENT
6 Use UNION ALL instead of
UNION

Why?: UNION sorts and removes


duplicates, slowing performance.
Solution: Use UNION ALL to avoid
this.

@DATASAPIENT
7 Apply Filters Early in Queries

Filter records before grouping to


reduce the workload.

@DATASAPIENT
8 Replace OR with IN for Better
Performance

Problem: Multiple OR clauses slow


down query execution.
Solution: Use the IN operator for
faster performance.

@DATASAPIENT
9 Avoid Subqueries for
Performance

Subqueries can cause multiple table


scans, leading to inefficiency.
Use JOIN instead for better
performance.

@DATASAPIENT
10 Use Common Table
Expressions (CTEs)

CTEs break down complex queries


into simpler parts.
They improve both readability and
efficiency.

@DATASAPIENT
11 Use LIMIT for Large Datasets

Limit the number of rows returned to


reduce database load.

11 Summary of Key Techniques

Efficient SELECT queries lead to


faster response times and a better
user experience.
Implement best practices like using
indexes, avoiding unnecessary
functions, and filtering early!
