The fact is that there is no simple answer, as different queries require different optimizations. Rob Gravelle presents and evaluates some uses for derived tables that highlight their value in many applications.
MySQL Hotbackups with XtraBackup
Hotbackups are a staple of many different database platforms, but they remain sadly absent from the core MySQL distribution. Not to worry, the open-source utility has just arrived to rescue you.
Eliminating Duplicate Rows from MySQL Result Sets
The go to solution for removing duplicate rows from your result sets is to include the distinct keyword in your select statement. It tells the query engine to remove duplicates to produce a result set in which every row is unique. The group by clause can also be used to remove duplicates.
