For select, you can do a test run of the query to see how well your DB & sql query is optimized ;) so you'll get the idea of where any performance bottleneck is later on :). For example, my 2 table join select statement of 3684 rows has initial execution time of 0.031 sec with fetch of 0.016 sec. Subsequent runs have 0.000 and 0.000, respectively. Also, if you use the workbench, it will encapsulate the fields and table(s) with ` so you know that your will query should run without any possible mishap such as where you may have a column name of 'name'. Another plus is speed of which you can accurately create your queries on the workbench.
