- Check Query Execution Plan: This information will show why it bottleneck. - Check Workload Report - For example AWR in Oracle. - Check for bad indexing problem or no Data Life Cycle Design - Optimize query and index performance

Indexing: Proper indexing can significantly speed up query performance. Ensure that your database tables are indexed appropriately, especially on columns that are frequently used in search queries. Query Optimization: Regularly review and optimize your SQL queries. Avoid using complex joins and subqueries that can slow down performance. Use query profiling tools to identify and fix slow queries. Database Normalization: Normalize your database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity. However, be mindful of over-normalization, which can lead to excessive joins and impact performance. Caching: Implement caching strategies to reduce the load on your database. Use in-memory data stores to cache frequently accessed data.
