What is denormalization and why would someone consider doing so?..

Answer / Deepanshu Pathak

Denormalization is the process of intentionally duplicating data to eliminate or reduce the need for joining tables in a database. This can help improve performance, simplify queries, and reduce complexity by reducing the number of joins required. However, it may lead to data redundancy and inconsistency.
