https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/new-to-appian/24511/query-entity-data-retrievalHi, Will that query entity fetch 10,000 records at a time ? And W hat is the best approach do you follow to get that large set of data from database ?

You will need to adapt your solution approach to the nature of the platform.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/94691?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 May 2022 17:51:39 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:c08a654e-e49d-4723-b944-201c69e76583Naresh<p>Hi,</p> <p>It dependents on the volume of data, ex you querying a table which have only 3 columns vs 50 columns. When querying tables we need to follow certain best practices</p> <ul> <li>Query only the data that you need using query selection <ul> <li>ex: If table have 50 columns if you only need to show 10 columns only query those 10 columns not the entire table</li> </ul> </li> <li>Don&#39;t query all the data when you load the page (If your planning to display that data in read only grid) <ul> <li>Use paging info to query the data in batches&nbsp;</li> </ul> </li> <li>Also, create indexes in your table most frequent columns that you query (As part of normalization)&nbsp;</li> </ul><div style="clear:both;"></div>
