Conditional Aggregation with CASE & FILTER: Performance

Module: Aggregate Functions & Grouping

**Performance:**

- One query faster than multiple separate queries

- All conditions processed in single pass

- Simple conditions perform better

- Index columns used in conditions

One query faster than multiple separate queries

All conditions evaluated in single pass

Forgetting ELSE 0 causes NULL results

Creating overlapping conditions unintentionally

Using when WHERE would be simpler

Too many conditional aggregates hurts readability

Not handling NULL in conditions explicitly
