There are many best practices to improve database performance. One of the simplest ways is to optimize your SQL queries. This will improve the way you perform searches in your database.
A technique known as indexing allows you to develop a data structure that simplifies how you access your data. Instead of searching through the entire database, indexing allows you to search through a pre-specified portion of your database. In this way, you can speed up the rate at which you can extract insights from your data.
You can also try to reduce the amount of data stored in your database by various data reduction methods. This will free up more memory so that SQL queries are able to run faster on your database. However, even after you’ve tried all possible data reduction methods, you may still run into database performance issues.
