Magento - Database Performance

One of the most time consuming process of the Magento store is its interaction with the database. Optimizing Magento Database is an important task to maintain the Magento site.

• Unused data must be cleaned up regularly for better performance.

• Optimize database queries.

• Configure setting and limits of the database server (e.g. memory setting, query cache, sort buffer optimization).
