Combine 2 MySQL queries to improve performance - mysql

Question

I have the following 2 queries.
The first is finding some product_ids based on some joins. It's running fast.
SELECT Group_concat(DISTINCT( p.products_id )) AS comma_separated
FROM products p
left join specials s
ON p.products_id = s.products_id
left join products_to_categories p2c
ON p.products_id = p2c.products_id
left join products_description pd
ON p.products_id = pd.products_id
inner join products_attributes pa
ON p.products_id = pa.products_id
WHERE p.products_status = '1'
AND Date_sub(Curdate(), interval 7000 day) <= p.products_date_added
ORDER BY p.products_id DESC
After that, the following query is executed and use all the products_ids found in the first query:
SELECT DISTINCT pov.products_options_values_id,
pov.products_options_values_name,
pa.options_values_price,
pa.price_prefix
FROM products_attributes pa,
products_options_values pov
WHERE Find_in_set(pa.products_id,
'**Long list of comma separated products_ids found in the first query**')
AND pa.options_id = 1
AND pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id
AND pov.language_id = '1'
GROUP BY pov.products_options_values_id
ORDER BY pov.products_options_values_sort_order ASC
The list of products_ids in the Find_in_set clause is very long and making this query take quite a long time to execute.
Is there any way of using joins or other way to rewrite the second query or combine both to improve performance?

Answer 1

Try something like this
SELECT DISTINCT pov.products_options_values_id,
pov.products_options_values_name,
pa.options_values_price,
pa.price_prefix
FROM products_attributes pa,
products_options_values pov,
(SELECT p.products_id
FROM products p
left join specials s
ON p.products_id = s.products_id
left join products_to_categories p2c
ON p.products_id = p2c.products_id
left join products_description pd
ON p.products_id = pd.products_id
inner join products_attributes pa
ON p.products_id = pa.products_id
WHERE p.products_status = '1'
AND Date_sub(Curdate(), interval 7000 day) <= p.products_date_added
GROUP BY p.products_id
) t
WHERE t.products_id = pa.products_id
AND pa.options_id = 1
AND pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id
AND pov.language_id = '1'
GROUP BY pov.products_options_values_id
ORDER BY pov.products_options_values_sort_order ASC
