"Hey guys, one of my favorite SQL speed hacks is using EXPLAIN to analyze query execution plans and optimize them for performance. It's saved me so much time in the past, especially when dealing with complex joins and subqueries. Anyone else have any go-to methods for speeding up queries?"

"Hey guys, I'm loving the INDEX() suggestion from 'sql_noob'. Another trick I use is optimizing my WHERE clauses by eliminating unnecessary AND/OR conditions, and also making sure my database is properly fragmented. Anyone else have any good tips on indexing?"
