slow query performance. Your task is to optimize the performance of a
frequently executed query that retrieves product details along with their
categories.

Step 1: Analyze the Query


1 EXPLAIN SELECT p . p r o d u c t i d , p . name , c . c a t e g o r y n a m e
2 FROM p r o d u c t s p
3 JOIN c a t e g o r i e s c ON p . c a t e g o r y i d = c . c a t e g o r y i d
