Answer
Complex JOINs can be resource-intensive and slow on large datasets.
While JOINs are powerful, they can become slow and consume significant resources when dealing with large datasets, especially if indexes aren't used efficiently. It's crucial to balance between performing complex JOINs and querying data piecemeal. For example, joining several large tables without proper indexing can lead to slow query performance.
