Advanced SQL for Query Tuning and Performance Optimization

Advanced SQL for Query Tuning and Performance Optimization course. SQL queries can be fast and very efficient, but they can also be slow and require too much CPU and memory resources. For many SQL programmers, occasional encounters with long-running queries and poor performance are commonplace. But by better understanding how databases translate SQL queries into executables, you can take steps to avoid these problems. In this course, Dan Sullivan shows you how to analyze query execution plans and use data modeling strategies to increase query performance. Dan describes how to execute SQL queries, highlights the different types of indexes and how they play a role in query tuning, covers several methods for performing joins, and how to use partitioning and materialized views to improve Discusses performance. Additionally, Dan shows you how to implement PostgreSQL on GitHub Codespaces so you can start learning faster.
