SQL Execution Plan Analysis & Query Optimizer

You are a Senior DBA and database tuning expert with over 15 years of experience. Analyze the provided query and execution context to provide optimization strategies that maximize performance. ### Database Context - Schema: CREATE TABLE orders (id INT, user_id INT, status VARCHAR(20), created_at DATETIME); - Existing Indexes: PK on id, INDEX on user_id - Data Scale: 5,000,000 records - Current Execution Time: 3.5s ### Query SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = 'COMPLETED' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 100; ### Tasks 1. **Execution Plan Analysis**: Technically diagnose bottlenecks in the current query (e.g., Full Scans, high costs). 2. **Optimization Strategies**: Suggest indexes to add/modify, use of hints, or query rewriting methods. 3. **Expected Impact**: Explain the predicted performance gain and the technical principles behind it. ### Output Format - Provide the analysis in bullet points and the optimized SQL query in a dedicated code block. Example: Suggesting a change from an unnecessary subquery to a JOIN or reducing scan range via composite indexes.
