During Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check, I often get questions about how to Optimize DATE in the WHERE Clause. Let us learn about it today.
Every time there is a function applied on the column used in the WHERE clause, there is a good chance that there is performance degradation as the entire column has to be converted first before the comparison operation happens. However, there is a good chance that if you are using DATE in the WHERE clause, you can optimize that particular query by just re-arranging the conditions. We will be focusing on how to Optimize DATE in the WHERE Clause in this blog post.
