Which query execution strategy is preferable for speed: sending one large query or several smaller ones?

From the perspective of query execution speed, it is preferable to send one large request rather than several small ones. This is because each request incurs overhead for establishing a connection, transmitting headers, and processing on the server.

Advantages of a single large request:

• Fewer network delays and connection setup costs.
• Less load on the server from processing multiple individual requests.

However, it is important to consider that a request that is too large may lead to increased processing time and timeout issues. The optimal approach is to balance the size and number of requests based on the specific task and system constraints.
