MySQL query and LEFT JOIN for large table - mysql

I am trying to optimize query (below) which takes 80 minutes to execute. :/
I have very large table prodaja with 21m rows and actual_stock with 960k rows.
SELECT
p.NazivMat,
sum(p.Kolicina) AS ProdajaKol,
sum(p.Iznos) AS ProdajaIznos,
s.Kolicina AS TrenutnaZaliha,
s.Iznos AS TrenZalIznos
FROM
prodaja p
LEFT JOIN actual_stock s ON s.BrojSklad = p.BrojSklad
AND s.SifraMat = p.SifraMat
WHERE
p.Dobavljac = 1664
AND p.DatumOtprem BETWEEN '2020-12-10'
AND '2020-12-11'
I have set Indexes on fields BrojSklad and SifraMat but it does not change much at all as I have dates and range changing and query can take (run) forever if 10 days range is selected (with this query).
Is there any other way(s) to get same result with different query or two of them like "prefetch" and store in temp table and run another one?
Table with 20m rows is pain in the but. :/
UPDATE: 30. Dec
Thanks for all responds below. For sake of simplicity, I've shorten the query, the long version is below. I did add GROUP BY and the end of it, that's sorted.
EXPLAIN SELECT
cm_prodaja.NazivGrupe,
cm_prodaja.Grupa,
cm_prodaja.DatumOtprem,
cm_prodaja.SifraMat,
cm_prodaja.BarCode,
cm_prodaja.SifArtOdDob,
cm_prodaja.NazivMat,
sum(cm_prodaja.Kolicina) AS Kolicina,
sum(cm_prodaja.Iznos) AS Iznos,
IFNULL (zaliha_artikala_radnje.Kolicina, 0) AS TrenutnaZaliha,
IFNULL (zaliha_artikala_radnje.Iznos, 0) AS TrenZalIznos
FROM
cm_prodaja
LEFT JOIN zaliha_artikala_radnje ON zaliha_artikala_radnje.BrojSklad = cm_prodaja.BrojSklad
AND zaliha_artikala_radnje.SifraMat = cm_prodaja.SifraMat
WHERE
cm_prodaja.Dobavljac = 1664
AND cm_prodaja.DatumOtprem BETWEEN '2020-08-10'
AND '2020-08-11'
GROUP BY cm_prodaja.BrojSklad, cm_prodaja.NazivRadnje, cm_prodaja.SifraMat,
cm_prodaja.BarCode, cm_prodaja.SifArtOdDob, cm_prodaja.NazivMat,
cm_prodaja.Kolicina, cm_prodaja.Iznos, cm_prodaja.Dobavljac,
cm_prodaja.NazivDobavljaca, cm_prodaja.Proizvodjac,
cm_prodaja.NazivProizvodjaca, cm_prodaja.Grupa, cm_prodaja.NazivGrupe
I made it a bit faster by adding missing Index on zaliha_artikala_radnje.BrojSklad and zaliha_artikala_radnje.SifraMat.
Another thing I did is enabling partitioning and I've set to "split" table by year (months) on 4 sections/year and that helped a lot.
I've added image with EXPLAIN result.

Add these composite indexes, with the columns in the order given:
p: (Dobavljac, DatumOtprem)
s: (SifraMat, BrojSklad, Iznos, Kolicina)
If you need further assistance, please provide SHOW CREATE TABLE and fix the syntax error: ... LEFT The JOIN ...
What is the datatype of DatumOtprem? I am worried about the endpoints of the BETWEEN.
Another problem... The query has SUM(), but no GROUP BY; what is the intent?

thanks for suggestions. I ended up with using PHP way to JOIN data described here: https://www.koolreport.com/docs/processes/join/
My original query took 3-40 minutes to give results for 1-7 days selected in filter.
Now it takes 2-5 seconds, where final result has 1k - 8k rows.
I did try different methods and anything what has JOIN inside query dropped performance drastically. As said, KoolReport JOIN function solved my problem. I created two queries, both of them are getting their sets of data ordered by SifraMat and match same field Dobavljac.

Optimizing INNER JOIN across multiple tables

I have trawled many of the similar responses on this site and have improved my code at several stages along the way. Unfortunately, this 3-row query still won't run.
I have one table with 100k+ rows and about 30 columns of which I can filter down to 3-rows (in this example) and then perform INNER JOINs across 21 small lookup tables.
In my first attempt, I was lazy and used implicit joins.
SELECT `master_table`.*, `lookup_table`.`data_point` x 21
FROM `lookup_table` x 21
WHERE `master_table`.`indexed_col` = "value"
AND `lookup_table`.`id` = `lookup_col` x 21
The query looked to be timing out:
#2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query
Following this, I tried being explicit about the joins.
SELECT `master_table`.*, `lookup_table`.`data_point` x 21
FROM `master_table`
INNER JOIN `lookup_table` ON `lookup_table`.`id` = `master_table`.`lookup_col` x 21
WHERE `master_table`.`indexed_col` = "value"
Still got the same result. I then realised that the query was probably trying to perform the joins first, then filter down via the WHERE clause. So after a bit more research, I learned how I could apply a subquery to perform the filter first and then perform the joins on the newly created table. This is where I got to, and it still returns the same error. Is there any way I can improve this query further?
SELECT `temp_table`.*, `lookup_table`.`data_point` x 21
FROM (SELECT * FROM `master_table` WHERE `indexed_col` = "value") as `temp_table`
INNER JOIN `lookup_table` ON `lookup_table`.`id` = `temp_table`.`lookup_col` x 21
Is this the best way to write up this kind of query? I tested the subquery to ensure it only returns a small table and can confirm that it returns only three rows.
First, at its most simple aspect you are looking for
select
mt.*
from
Master_Table mt
where
mt.indexed_col = 'value'
That is probably instantaneous provided you have an index on your master table on the given indexed_col in the first position (in case you had a compound index of many fields)…
Now, if I am understanding you correctly on your different lookup columns (21 in total), you have just simplified them for redundancy in this post, but actually doing something in the effect of
select
mt.*,
lt1.lookupDescription1,
lt2.lookupDescription2,
...
lt21.lookupDescription21
from
Master_Table mt
JOIN Lookup_Table1 lt1
on mt.lookup_col1 = lt1.pk_col1
JOIN Lookup_Table2 lt2
on mt.lookup_col2 = lt2.pk_col2
...
JOIN Lookup_Table21 lt21
on mt.lookup_col21 = lt21.pk_col21
where
mt.indexed_col = 'value'
I had a project well over a decade ago dealing with a similar situation... the Master table had about 21+ million records and had to join to about 30+ lookup tables. The system crawled and queried died after running a query after more than 24 hrs.
This too was on a MySQL server and the fix was a single MySQL keyword...
Select STRAIGHT_JOIN mt.*, ...
By having your master table in the primary position, where clause and its criteria directly on the master table, you are good. You know the relationships of the tables. Do the query in the exact order I presented it to you. Don't try to think for me on this and try to optimize based on a subsidiary table that may have smaller record count and somehow think that will help the query faster... it won't.
Try the STRAIGHT_JOIN keyword. It took the query I was working on and finished it in about 1.5 hrs... it was returning all 21 million rows with all corresponding lookup key descriptions for final output, hence still needed a longer duration than just 3 records.
First, don't use a subquery. Write the query as:
SELECT mt.*, lt.`data_point`
FROM `master_table` mt INNER JOIN
`lookup_table` l
ON l.`id` = mt.`lookup_col`
WHERE mt.`indexed_col` = value;
The indexes that you want are master_table(value, lookup_col) and lookup_table(id, data_point).
If you are still having performance problems, then there are multiple possibilities. High among them is that the result set is simply too big to return in a reasonable amount of time. To see if that is the case, you can use select count(*) to count the number of returned rows.

How to make a faster query when joining multiple huge tables?

I have 3 tables. All 3 tables have approximately 2 million rows. Everyday 10,000-100,000 new entries are entered. It takes approximately 10 seconds to finish the sql statement below. Is there a way to make this sql statement faster?
SELECT customers.name
FROM customers
INNER JOIN hotels ON hotels.cus_id = customers.cus_id
INNER JOIN bookings ON bookings.book_id = customers.book_id
WHERE customers.gender = 0 AND
customers.cus_id = 3
LIMIT 25 OFFSET 1;
Of course this statement works fine, but its slow. Is there a better way to write this code?
All database servers have a form of an optimization engine that is going to determine how best to grab the data you want. With a simple query such as the select you showed, there isn't going to be any way to greatly improve performance within the SQL. As others have said sub-queries won't helps as that will get optimized into the same plan as joins.
Reduce the number of columns, add indexes, beef up the server if that's an option.
Consider caching. I'm not a mysql expert but found this article interesting and worth a skim. https://www.percona.com/blog/2011/04/04/mysql-caching-methods-and-tips/
Look at the section on summary tables and consider if that would be appropriate. Does pulling every hotel, customer, and booking need to be up-to-the-minute or would inserting this into a summary table once an hour be fine?
A subquery don't help but a proper index can improve the performance so be sure you have proper index
create index idx1 on customers(gender , cus_id,book_id, name )
create index idex2 on hotels(cus_id)
create index idex3 on hotels(book_id)
I find it a bit hard to believe that this is related to a real problem. As written, I would expect this to return the same customer name over and over.
I would recommend the following indexes:
customers(cus_id, gender, book_id, name)
hotels(cus_id)
bookings(book_id)
It is really weird that bookings are not to a hotel.
First, these indexes cover the query, so the data pages don't need to be accessed. The logic is to start with the where clause and use those columns first. Then add additional columns from the on and select clauses.
Only one column is used for hotels and bookings, so those indexes are trivial.
The use of OFFSET without ORDER BY is quite suspicious. The result set is in indeterminate order anyway, so there is no reason to skip the nominally "first" value.

SQL query takes too much time (3 joins)

I'm facing an issue with an SQL Query. I'm developing a php website, and to avoid making too much queries, I prefer to make a big one looking like :
select m.*, cj.*, cjb.*, me.pseudo as pseudo_acheteur
from mercato m
JOIN cartes_joueur cj
ON m.ID_carte = cj.ID_carte_joueur
JOIN cartes_joueur_base cjb
ON cj.ID_carte_joueur_base = cjb.ID_carte_joueur_base
JOIN membres me
ON me.ID_membre = cj.ID_membre
where not exists (select * from mercato_encheres me where me.ID_mercato = m.ID_mercato)
and cj.ID_membre = 2
and m.status <> 'cancelled'
ORDER BY total_carac desc, cj.level desc, cjb.nom_carte asc
This should return all cards sold by the member without any bet on it. In the result, I need all the information to display them.
Here is the approximate rows in each table :
mercato : 1200
cartes_joueur : 800 000
carte_joueur_base : 62
membres : 2000
mercato_enchere : 15 000
I tried to reduce them (in dev environment) by deleting old data; but the query still needs 10~15 seconds to execute (which is way too long on a website )
Thanks for your help.
Let's take a look.
The use of * in SELECT clauses is harmful to query performance. Why? It's wasteful. It needlessly adds to the volume of data the server must process, and in the case of JOINs, can force the processing of columns with duplicate values. If you possibly can do so, try to enumerate the columns you need.
You may not have useful indexes on your tables for accelerating this. We can't tell. Please notice that MySQL can't exploit multiple indexes in a single query, so to make a query fast you often need a well-chosen compound index. I suggest you try defining the index (ID_membre, ID_carte_jouer, ID_carte_joueur_base) on your cartes_joueur table. Why? Your query matches for equality on the first of those columns, and then uses the second and third column in ON conditions.
I have often found that writing a query with the largest table (most rows) first helps me think clearly about optimizing. In your case your largest table is cartes_jouer and you are choosing just one ID_membre value from that table. Your clearest path to optimization is the knowledge that you only need to examine approximately 400 rows from that table, not 800 000. An appropriate compound index will make that possible, and it's easiest to imagine that index's columns if the table comes first in your query.
You have a correlated subquery -- this one.
where not exists (select *
from mercato_encheres me
where me.ID_mercato = m.ID_mercato)
MySQL's query planner can be stupidly literal-minded when it sees this, running it thousands of times. In your case it's even worse: it's got SELECT * in it: see point 1 above.
It should be refactored to use the LEFT JOIN ... IS NULL pattern. Here's how that goes.
select whatever
from mercato m
JOIN ...
JOIN ...
LEFT JOIN mercato_encheres mench ON mench.ID_mercato = m.ID_mercato
WHERE mench.ID_mercato IS NULL
and ...
ORDER BY ...
Explanation: The use of LEFT JOIN rather than ordinary inner JOIN allows rows from the mercato table to be preserved in the output even when the ON condition does not match them to tables in the mercato_encheres table. The mismatching rows get NULL values for the second table. The mench.ID_mercato IS NULL condition in the WHERE clause then selects only the mismatching rows.

Query SQL runs slow with group by in MySQL

I have a sql below, it runs about 30 mins, which is too long for me.
SELECT LPP.learning_project_pupilID, SL.serviceID, MAX(LPPO.start_date), SUM(LPPOT.license_mode_value) totalAssignedLicenses
FROM t_services_licenses SL
INNER JOIN t_pupils_offers_services POS ON POS.service_licenseID = SL.service_licenseID
INNER JOIN j_learning_projects_pupils_offers LPPO ON LPPO.learning_project_pupil_offerID = POS.learning_project_pupil_offerID
INNER JOIN j_learning_projects_pupils LPP ON LPPO.learning_project_pupilID = LPP.learning_project_pupilID
INNER JOIN j_learning_projects_pupils_offers_tracking LPPOT ON LPPOT.pupil_offer_serviceID = POS.pupil_offer_serviceID
INNER JOIN t_filters_items FI ON FI.itemID = LPP.learning_project_pupilID_for_filter_join
WHERE FI.filterID = '4dce2235-aafd-4ba2-b248-c137ad6ce8ca'
AND SL.serviceID IN ('OnlineConversationClasses', 'TwentyFourSeven')
GROUP BY LPP.learning_project_pupilID, SL.serviceID
The explain result below(tell me if you can't view the image):
http://images0.cnblogs.com/blog2015/47012/201508/140920298959608.png
I have viewed the profile result, "copying temp data " wasted almost all the time. I know the reason is caused by "group by" functionality, So I did some changes below to verify it:
I removed the MAX, SUM functions as well as the Group By sql and ran it, the time is only cost about 40 seconds, which is ok for us.
So here , I want to know, if there are some other methods to make above sql execute much more faster?
more info, you can find here: http://www.cnblogs.com/scy251147/p/4728995.html
EDIT:
From the explain view, I can see that in t_filters_items table, there are about 50802 rows filtered, And this table is not luckily Using temporary to store temp data, which is not a good choice for me . I really don't like "Group By" in MySQL very much.
Do not use CHARACTER SET utf8 on UUID columns. Change to ascii. Further discussion of uuids and how to further shrink them: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/uuid
Are there really 50K rows with FI.filterID = '4dce2235-aafd-4ba2-b248-c137ad6ce8ca'?
The GROUP BY spans two table (LPP and SL) making it impossible to optimize. Can that be changed?
The SUM(...) is likely to have a bigger value than you expect. This is because of the JOINs. Try to rewrite the computation of the SUM in a subquery.
Are you using InnoDB? Is innodb_buffer_pool_size set to about 70% of available RAM?
Approximately how many rows in each table?

Slow query when using ORDER BY

Here's the query (the largest table has about 40,000 rows)
SELECT
Course.CourseID,
Course.Description,
UserCourse.UserID,
UserCourse.TimeAllowed,
UserCourse.CreatedOn,
UserCourse.PassedOn,
UserCourse.IssuedOn,
C.LessonCnt
FROM
UserCourse
INNER JOIN
Course
USING(CourseID)
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT CourseID, COUNT(*) AS LessonCnt FROM CourseSection GROUP BY CourseID
) C
USING(CourseID)
WHERE
UserCourse.UserID = 8810
If I run this, it executes very quickly (.05 seconds roughly). It returns 13 rows.
When I add an ORDER BY clause at the end of the query (ordering by any column) the query takes about 10 seconds.
I'm using this database in production now, and everything is working fine. All my other queries are speedy.
Any ideas of what it could be? I ran the query in MySQL's Query Browser, and from the command line. Both places it was dead slow with the ORDER BY.
EDIT: Tolgahan ALBAYRAK solution works, but can anyone explain why it works?
maybe this helps:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
Course.CourseID,
Course.Description,
UserCourse.UserID,
UserCourse.TimeAllowed,
UserCourse.CreatedOn,
UserCourse.PassedOn,
UserCourse.IssuedOn,
C.LessonCnt
FROM
UserCourse
INNER JOIN
Course
USING(CourseID)
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT CourseID, COUNT(*) AS LessonCnt FROM CourseSection GROUP BY CourseID
) C
USING(CourseID)
WHERE
UserCourse.UserID = 8810
) ORDER BY CourseID
Is the column you're ordering by indexed?
Indexing drastically speeds up ordering and filtering.
You are selecting from "UserCourse" which I assume is a joining table between courses and users (Many to Many).
You should index the column that you need to order by, in the "UserCourse" table.
Suppose you want to "order by CourseID", then you need to index it on UserCourse table.
Ordering by any other column that is not present in the joining table (i.e. UserCourse) may require further denormalization and indexing on the joining table to be optimized for speed;
In other words, you need to have a copy of that column in the joining table and index it.
P.S.
The answer given by Tolgahan Albayrak, although correct for this question, would not produce the desired result, in cases where one is doing a "LIMIT x" query.
Have you updated the statistics on your database? I ran into something similar on mine where I had 2 identical queries where the only difference was a capital letter and one returned in 1/2 a second and the other took nearly 5 minutes. Updating the statistics resolved the issue
Realise answer is too late, however I have just had a similar problem, adding order by increased the query time from seconds to 5 minutes and having tried most other suggestions for speeding it up, noticed that the /tmp files where getting to be 12G for this query. Changed the query such that a varchar(20000) field being returned was "trim("ed and performance dramatically improved (back to seconds). So I guess its worth checking whether you are returning large varchars as part of your query and if so, process them (maybe substring(x, 1, length(x))?? if you dont want to trim them.
Query was returning 500k rows and the /tmp file indicated that each row was using about 20k of data.
A similar question was asked before here.
It might help you as well. Basically it describes using composite indexes and how order by works.
Today I was running into a same kind of problem. As soon as I was sorting the resultset by a field from a joined table, the whole query was horribly slow and took more than a hundred seconds.
The server was running MySQL 5.0.51a and by chance I noticed that the same query was running as fast as it should have always done on a server with MySQL 5.1. When comparing the explains for that query I saw that obviously the usage and handling of indexes has changed a lot (at least from 5.0 -> 5.1).
So if you encounter such a problem, maybe your resolution is to simply upgrade your MySQL
