Explore auto_join attribute in odoo :-

- In Odoo, the auto_join attribute on relational fields (like many2one and one2many) offers a powerful optimization technique for speeding up searches that involve those fields. When set to True, Odoo automatically joins the related table during record searches, potentially leading to significant performance improvements.

- While auto_join doesn't directly create a physical join table in the database, it achieves a similar effect by combining data from your model and the related table during search operations.

auto_join attribute in odoo usage and Syntax:

    _name = 'sale.order'

    partner_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', string='Customer', auto_join=True)

'''

Consider a model SaleOrder with a partner_id (many2one) field referencing a res.partner record. When searching for sales orders by customer name, enabling auto_join on partner_id can significantly speed up the search by bringing customer data directly into the initial search results
