Understanding the common causes of inefficient SQL can help in identifying and resolving issues. Some of these causes include:
Poor Indexing: Lack of proper indexing can cause full table scans, slowing down query execution. Complex Joins: Overly complicated joins can be resource-intensive and slow. Unoptimized Queries: Queries that are not optimized for performance can consume more resources and take longer to execute. Lack of Maintenance: Failing to regularly maintain and optimize your database can lead to inefficiencies.
