SQL query to select million records quickly

Question

I want to select million records from a table and I am using select query for this.

Currently it is taking a few minutes to get data. Can I get it quickly?<

Answer 1

The speed of the query depends on the number of rows but if you do appropriate optimizations taking the performance factors such as:

1. Indexing Clustered/Non clustered
2. Data Caching
3. Table Partitioning
4. Execution Plan caching
5. Data Distribution

the query will execute faster.
