Description

Most developers learn SQL by writing queries. Very few learn why some of those queries are thousands of times slower than others — or how to fix them. This lecture fills that gap, giving students a working mental model of how database indexes are structured, how the query planner decides whether to use them, and how to read the evidence when something goes wrong.
