How does denormalization affect database performance?
- Decreases storage space
- Enhances data integrity
- Improves query performance
- Increases redundancy
Denormalization can improve query performance by reducing the need for joins, thus speeding up data retrieval. However, it increases redundancy as data may be duplicated across tables, which can lead to increased storage requirements. It's a trade-off between performance optimization and data redundancy.
