MYSQL OR query problem (scans full table even when using indexes) - mysql

I am using EXPLAIN to get performance analysis of my below query:
SELECT `wf_cart_items` . `id`
FROM `wf_cart_items`
WHERE (`wf_cart_items` . `docket_number` = '405-2844' OR
match( `wf_cart_items` . `multi_docket_number` ) against ( '405-2844' )
)
The problem is that it shows rows to be searched 597151 while individual OR queries examine only 1 row each. How is it possible that when I use OR it is doing a full table scan?
P.S.: I have FULL-TEXT index on multi_docket_number & BTREE index on docket_number

OR is quite tricky for SQL optimizers -- both in the WHERE clause and in ON clauses.
The recommendation is to switch this to union all:
SELECT ci.id
FROM wf_cart_items ci
WHERE ci.docket_number = '405-2844'
UNION ALL
SELECT ci.id
FROM wf_cart_items ci
WHERE MATCH(ci.multi_docket_number) AGAINST ( '405-2844' ) AND
ci.docket_number <> '405-2844';
Based on the naming of your columns, I feat that multi-docket_number actually contains multiple docket numbers. If that is the case, you probably want to fix the data model, but that is another conversation.

MySQL View 20x slower than Select

I have a query that selects ~8000 rows. When I execute the query it takes 0.1 sec.
When I copy the query into a view and execute the view it takes about 2 seconds. In the first row of explain it selects ~570K rows, i dont know why.
I dont understand the first Row and why it shows up only in the view explain
1 PRIMARY ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL
This is the query (yes i know im not a mysql pro and the query is not that efficent, but it works ans 0.1 sek would be ok for me. Does anyone know why it is so slow in a view?

2.1 Analyze the View with added where clause #rick wanted me to add a where clause to the view, if i understood him correctly. This is the explain of the view, where i added a where clause, takes 1.86 sec.
3. The Query, that is the source of the view (Duration: 0.1 sec)
3.1 Execute the query directly This is the query, that is the source of the view, when i execute it directly to the server. It takes ~0.1 - 0.2 seconds.
3.2 Analyze the direct queryAnd this is the explain of the pure query.
Why the view is so much slower, by only cupsuling the query inside of the view?
Update 2
These are the indexes I have set
ALTER TABLE angebot ADD INDEX angebot_idx_angebot_id (angebot_id);
ALTER TABLE auftraege ADD INDEX auftraege_idx_auftrag_id (auftrag_id);
ALTER TABLE kunden ADD INDEX kunden_idx_kunde_id (kunde_id);
ALTER TABLE kunden_keywords ADD INDEX kunden_keywords_idx_kunde_id (kunde_id);
ALTER TABLE personal ADD INDEX personal_idx_personal_id (personal_id);
ALTER TABLE rechnungen ADD INDEX rechnungen_idx_rechnungsnummer_beglichen (rechnungsnummer,beglichen);
ALTER TABLE rechnungen ADD INDEX rechnungen_idx_beglichen_kunde_id_rechnung (beglichen,kunde_id,rechnung_tag);
ALTER TABLE status ADD INDEX status_idx_auftrag_id (auftrag_id);
ALTER TABLE status ADD INDEX status_idx_typ_auftrag_id_datum (typ,auftrag_id,datum);
ALTER TABLE zahlungsplanneu ADD INDEX zahlungsplanneu_idx_auftrag_id (auftrag_id);
Be consistent between tables. kunde_id, for example, seems to be declared differently between tables. This may be preventing some obvious optimizations. (There are 6 JOINs that say func in EXPLAIN`.)
Remove the extra parentheses in JOINs. They may be preventing what the Optimizer is happy to do -- rearrange the tables in a JOIN.
Turn the query inside out. By this, I mean to do the minimum amount of work to do the main JOIN. Collect mostly id(s). Then do the dependent subqueries in an outer select. Something like:
SELECT ... ( SELECT ... ), ...
FROM ( SELECT a1.id
FROM a AS a1
JOIN b ON ..
JOIN c ON .. )
JOIN a AS a2 ON a2.id = a1.id
JOIN d ON ...
The "inside-out" kludge may eliminate the need for the GROUP BY. (Your query is too complex for me to see for sure.) If so, then I call the problem "explode-implode" -- Your query first JOINs, producing a temp table with lots of rows ("explodes"). Then it does a GROUP BY ("implodes").
More
These indexes will probably help:
status: (auftrag_id, typ, datum, aenderung)
rechnungen: (beglichen, kunde_id, rechnung_tag)
rechnungen: (rechnungsnummer, beglichen)
zahlungsplanneu: (auftrag_id, rechnungsnummer)
kunden_keywords: (kunde_id, keyword) -- (unless `kunde_id` is the PK)
(I see from all 3 EXPLAINs that you probably have sufficient indexes on kunden_keywords and status. Show me what indexes you have, so I can see if the existing indexes are as good as my suggestions.) "Using index" == "covering index".
Near the end is this LEFT JOIN, but I did not spot any use for the table; perhaps it can be removed?
left join `kunden_keywords` on(`angebot`.`kunde_id` = `kunden_keywords`.`kunde_id`))

mysql multiple similar table query[seems not duplicate]

I have a sales software that use MYSQL database and i want to make a web extension using PHP. the software creating a new table everyday for every days transaction with same column but name like sales_data_Yearmonthday.
e.g
sales_data_20190122
sales_data_20190123
sales_data_20190124
sales_data_20190125
sales_data_20190126
sales_data_20190127
sales_data_20190128
So my question is what will be the best way to query these table if i want to get sales report for last 7 days?
UNION ALL is one option to join all table but are there any other option to do that for getting best performance as 356 table will be created every year and each table may have contain over 5000 records.
its may not the best database design but i cannot change it.
Given the specified constraints (as unfortunate as that situation is)...
using UNION ALL is the most appropriate solution to satisfying the specification.
If we are wanting the "past seven days", then we (our code) needs to figure out which tables will be required (vs the tables that would be required e.g. "so far this month") and dynamically construct SQL text.
We first write the query against one table, get that tested.
SELECT t.fee
, t.fi
, t.fo
, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190128 t
WHERE t.foo = ?
Then we just repeat that query for each table that might included rows we are interested in, excluding tables we know for sure will not contain rows we want, and combine the queries with UNION ALL set operator.
If we need the whole set ordered, then wrap each SELECT in parens, and finish with an ORDER BY clause. e.g.
( SELECT t.fee, t.fi, t.fo, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190124 t
WHERE t.foo = ?
)
UNION ALL
( SELECT t.fee, t.fi, t.fo, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190125
WHERE t.foo = ?
)
UNION ALL
( SELECT t.fee, t.fi, t.fo, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190126 t
WHERE t.foo = ?
)
UNION ALL
( SELECT t.fee, t.fi, t.fo, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190127 t
WHERE t.foo = ?
)
UNION ALL
( SELECT t.fee, t.fi, t.fo, t.fum
FROM sales_data_20190128 t
WHERE t.foo = ?
)
ORDER BY 1,2
Do NOT try to simplify the code by creating view that concatenates all of the tables together, and query against that. Don't do that.

MySQL queries stuck in "sending data" for 30 seconds after migrating to RDS

This query (along with a few others I think have a related issue) did not take 30 seconds when MySQL was local on the same EC2 instance as the rest of the website. More like milliseconds.
Does anything look off?
SELECT *, chv_images.image_id FROM chv_images
LEFT JOIN chv_storages ON chv_images.image_storage_id =
chv_storages.storage_id
LEFT JOIN chv_users ON chv_images.image_user_id = chv_users.user_id
LEFT JOIN chv_albums ON chv_images.image_album_id = chv_albums.album_id
LEFT JOIN chv_categories ON chv_images.image_category_id =
chv_categories.category_id
LEFT JOIN chv_meta ON chv_images.image_id = chv_meta.image_id
LEFT JOIN chv_likes ON chv_likes.like_content_type = "image" AND
chv_likes.like_content_id = chv_images.image_id AND chv_likes.like_user_id = 1
LEFT JOIN chv_follows ON chv_follows.follow_followed_user_id =
chv_images.image_user_id
LEFT JOIN chv_follows_projects ON
chv_follows_projects.follows_project_project_id =
chv_images.image_project_id LEFT JOIN chv_projects ON
chv_projects.project_id = follows_project_project_id WHERE
chv_follows.follow_user_id='1' OR (follows_project_user_id = 1 AND
chv_projects.project_privacy = "public" AND
chv_projects.project_is_public_upload = 1) GROUP BY chv_images.image_id
ORDER BY chv_images.image_id DESC
LIMIT 0,15
And this is what EXPLAIN shows:
Thank you
Update: This query has the same issue. It does not have a GROUP BY.
SELECT *, chv_images.image_id FROM chv_images
LEFT JOIN chv_storages ON chv_images.image_storage_id =
chv_storages.storage_id
LEFT JOIN chv_users ON chv_images.image_user_id = chv_users.user_id

LEFT JOIN chv_likes ON chv_likes.like_content_type = "image" AND

That EXPLAIN shows several table-scans (type: ALL), so it's not surprising that it takes over 30 seconds.
Here's your EXPLAIN:
Notice the column rows shows an estimated 14420 rows read from the first table chv_images. It's doing a table-scan of all the rows.
In general, when you do a series of JOINs, you can multiple together all the values in the rows column of the EXPLAIN, and the final result is how many row-reads MySQL has to do. In this case it's 14420 * 2 * 1 * 1 * 2 * 1 * 916, or 52,834,880 row-reads. That should put into perspective the high cost of doing several table-scans in the same query.
You might help avoid those table-scans by creating some indexes on these tables:
ALTER TABLE chv_storages
ADD INDEX (storage_id);
ALTER TABLE chv_categories
ADD INDEX (category_id);
ALTER TABLE chv_likes
ADD INDEX (like_content_id, like_content_type, like_user_id);
Try creating those indexes and then run the EXPLAIN again.
The other tables are already doing lookups by primary key (type: eq_ref) or by secondary key (type: ref) so those are already optimized.
Your EXPLAIN shows your query uses a temporary table and filesort. You should reconsider whether you need the GROUP BY, because that's probably causing the extra work.
Another tip is to avoid using SELECT * because it might be forcing the query to read many extra columns that you don't need. Instead, explicitly name only the columns you need.
Is there any indexes in chv_images?
I propose:
CREATE INDEX idx_image_id ON chv_images (image_id);
(Bill's ideas are good. I'll take the discussion a different way...)
Explode-Implode -- If the LEFT JOINs match no more than 1 row, change, for example,
SELECT
...
LEFT JOIN chv_meta ON chv_images.image_id = chv_meta.image_id
into
SELECT ...,
( SELECT foo FROM chv_meta WHERE image_id = chv_images.image_id ) AS foo, ...
If that can be done for all the JOINs, you can get rid of GROUP BY. This will avoid the costly "explode-implode" where JOINs lead to more rows, then GROUP BY gets rid of the dups. (I suspect you can't move all the joins in.)
OR -> UNION -- OR is hard to optimize. Your query looks like a good candidate for turning into UNION, then making more indexes that will become useful.
WHERE chv_follows.follow_user_id='1'
OR (follows_project_user_id = 1
AND chv_projects.project_privacy = "public"
AND chv_projects.project_is_public_upload = 1
)
Assuming that follows_project_user_id is in `chv_images,
( SELECT ...
WHERE chv_follows.follow_user_id='1' )
UNION DISTINCT -- or ALL, if you are sure there won't be dups
( SELECT ...
WHERE follows_project_user_id = 1
AND chv_projects.project_privacy = "public"
AND chv_projects.project_is_public_upload = 1 )
Indexes needed:
chv_follows: (follow_user_id)
chv_projects: (project_privacy, project_is_public_upload) -- either order
But this has not yet handled the ORDER BY and LIMIT. The general pattern for such:
( SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT 15 )
UNION
( SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT 15 )
ORDER BY ... LIMIT 15
Yes, the ORDER BY and LIMIT are repeated.
That works for page 1. If you want the next 15 rows, see http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/pagination#pagination_and_union
After building those two sub-selects, look at them; I think you will be able to optimize each one, and may need new indexes because the Optimizer will start with a different 'first' table.

MYSQL how to speed up requests using EXISTS

i have an SQL Requests:
SELECT DISTINCT id_tr
FROM planning_requests a
WHERE EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM planning_requests b
WHERE a.id_tr = b.id_tr
AND trainer IS NOT NULL
AND trainer != 'FREE'
)
AND EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM planning_requests c
WHERE a.id_tr = c.id_tr
AND trainer IS NULL
)
but this requests take 168.9490 sec to execute for returning 23162 rows of 2545088 rows
should i use LEFT JOIN or NOT IN ? and how can i rewrite it thx
You can speed this up by adding indexes. I would suggest: planning_requests(id_tr, trainer).
You can do this as:
create index planning_requests_id_trainer on planning_requests(id_tr, trainer);
Also, I think you are missing an = in the first subquery.
EDIT:
If you have a lot of duplicate values of id_tr, then in addition to the above indexes, it might make sense to phrase the query as:
select id_tr
from (select distinct id_tr
from planning_requests
) a
where . . .
The where conditions are being run on every row of the original table. The distinct is processed after the where.
I think your query can be simplified to this:
SELECT DISTINCT a.id_tr
FROM planning_requests a
JOIN planning_requests b
ON b.id_tr = a.id_tr
AND b.trainer IS NULL
WHERE a.trainer < 'FREE'
If you index planning_requests(trainer), then MySQL can utilize an index range to get all the rows that aren't FREE or NULL. All numeric strings will meet the < 'FREE' criteria, and it also won't return NULL values.
Then, use JOIN to make sure each record from that much smaller result set has a matching NULL record.
For the JOIN, index planning_requests(id_tr, trainer).
It might be simpler if you don't mix types in a column like FREE and 1.

ORDER BY Causes MySQL query to become Extremely Slow

I have the following query:
SELECT *
FROM products
INNER JOIN product_meta
ON products.id = product_meta.product_id
JOIN sales_rights
ON product_meta.product_id = sales_rights.product_id
WHERE ( products.categories REGEXP '[[:<:]]5[[:>:]]' )
AND ( active = '1' )
AND ( products.show_browse = 1 )
AND ( product_meta.software_platform_mac IS NOT NULL )
AND ( sales_rights.country_id = '240'
OR sales_rights.country_id = '223' )
GROUP BY products.id
ORDER BY products.avg_rating DESC
LIMIT 0, 18;
Running the query with the omission of the ORDER BY section and the query runs in ~90ms, with the ORDER BY section and the query takes ~8s.
I've browsed around SO and have found the reason for this could be that the sort is being executed before all the data is returned, and instead we should be running ORDER BY on the result set instead? (See this post: Slow query when using ORDER BY)
But I can't quite figure out the definitive way on how I do this?

I find that hard to believe, but if that's indeed the issue, I think you'll need to do something like this. (Note where I put the parens.)
select * from
(
SELECT products.id, products.avg_rating
FROM products
INNER JOIN product_meta
ON products.id = product_meta.product_id
JOIN sales_rights
ON product_meta.product_id = sales_rights.product_id
WHERE ( products.categories REGEXP '[[:<:]]5[[:>:]]' )
AND ( active = '1' )
AND ( products.show_browse = 1 )
AND ( product_meta.software_platform_mac IS NOT NULL )
AND ( sales_rights.country_id = '240'
OR sales_rights.country_id = '223' )
GROUP BY products.id
) as X
ORDER BY avg_rating DESC
LIMIT 0, 18;
Also, edit your question and include a link to that advice. I think many of us would benefit from reading it.
Additional, possibly unrelated issues
Every column used in a WHERE clause should probably be indexed somehow. Multi-column indexes might perform better for this particular query.
The column products.categories seems to be storing multiple values that you filter with regular expressions. Storing multiple values in a single column is usually a bad idea.
MySQL's GROUP BY is indeterminate. A standard SQL statement using a GROUP BY might return fewer rows, and it might return them faster.
If you can, you may want to index your ID columns so that the query will run quicker. This is a DBA-level solution, rather than a SQL solution - tuning the database will help overall performance.
The issue in the instance of this query, was that by using GROUP BY and ORDER BY in a query, MySQL is unable to use the index if the GROUP BY and ORDER BY expressions are different.
