Performance Optimization

Performance optimization in SQL is crucial for ensuring that your database queries run efficiently, especially as the size and complexity of your data grow. Here are several strategies and techniques to optimize SQL performance: Indexing Create Indexes : Primary Key and Unique Indexes : These are automatically indexed. Ensure that your tables have primary keys and unique constraints where applicable. Foreign Keys : Index foreign key columns to speed up join operations. Composite Indexes : Use these when queries filter on multiple columns. The order of columns in the index should match the order in the query conditions. Avoid Over-Indexing:  Too many indexes can slow down write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Only index columns that are frequently used in WHERE clauses, JOIN conditions, and as sorting keys. Query Optimization Use SELECT Statements Efficiently : SELECT Only Necessary Columns : Avoid using SELECT * ; specify only ...

DAX UPPER Function

The DAX UPPER function in Power BI is used to convert all characters in a text string to uppercase. This function is useful for standardizing text data, ensuring consistency in text values, and performing case-insensitive comparisons. Syntax: UPPER(<text>) <text>: The text string that you want to convert to uppercase. Purpose: The UPPER function helps ensure that text data is consistently formatted in uppercase. This can be essential for tasks like data cleaning, preparing text for comparisons, and ensuring uniformity in text-based fields. E xample: Suppose you have a table named "Customers" with a column "Name" that contains names in mixed case. You want to create a new column that shows all names in uppercase. UppercaseName = UPPER(Customers[Name]) Example Scenario: Assume you have the following "Customers" table: You can use the UPPER function as follows: Using the UPPER function, you can convert all names to uppercase: UppercaseName = ...
