Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Use indexed columns in the WHERE clause for better performance.
  • Combine multiple conditions with AND or OR for complex filtering.

Don'ts

  • Don't use WHERE without understanding the impact on query performance.
  • Don't forget to validate user input to prevent SQL injection.
