PlanetScale·3yWhat is a query planner?
queries with lots of tables and lots of indexes can quickly run into the thousands and even millions of alternatives. Choosing the right indexes to use, and the right order to fetch data in, proves to be the difference between a 10ms and 5s query. The planner's job is to find the best possible query plan among all possibilities.
MC++ Blog·3yThe Strategy Pattern
