Example

Rewriting a query to use EXISTS instead of IN for subqueries to speed up SQL Server operations.

Scenario

A user faces slow response times when running complex subqueries. I analyze the query and recommend using EXISTS instead of IN, explaining how EXISTS stops processing as soon as it finds a match, thus improving performance.

Example

Recommending the creation of a compound index in MongoDB for a frequently used query pattern.

A developer regularly queries a MongoDB collection on two fields. I recommend creating a compound index that includes these fields, significantly reducing the query execution time and enhancing the application's responsiveness.

Example

Suggesting normalization techniques to prevent data redundancy and maintain data integrity in a relational database.
