Optimizing a MySql database for large queries - mysql

Question

I am building a big database that. one of my tables have 300K records and another once has 5 million record.
I currently have all foreign keys and the column named "ph.trigger_on" indexed.
My question is how can I optimize my table/query to get a faster results? I tried to create a view with this code then from this view I can get all the information that I need when I do a query to this view.
By the query is still slow and I am having difficulties understanding the results that EXPLAIN is showing.
This is my current query
EXPLAIN SELECT
ac.account_name AS accountName,
tm.name AS teamName,
cp.name AS campaignName,
cc.call_code_name AS callCode,
rc.result_code_name AS resultCode,
zn.name AS zoneName,
ind.name AS industry,
(su.first_name + su.middle_name + su.last_name) AS owner_name,
su.login_user AS ownerLoginUser,
(su1.first_name + su1.middle_name + su1.last_name) AS firstAttemptBy,
(su2.first_name + su2.middle_name + su2.last_name) AS lastAttemptBy,
(su3.first_name + su3.middle_name + su.last_name) AS modifiedBy,
ci.name AS clientName,
ph.trigger_on AS triggerOn,
ph.created_on AS createdOn,
ph.first_attempt_on AS firstAttemptOn,
ph.call_subject AS callSubject,
ph.status,
ph.last_attempt_on AS lastAttemptOn,
ph.total_attempts AS totalAttempts,
ph.call_direction AS callDirection,
ph.call_notes AS callNotes,
ph.call_duration AS callDuration,
ph.modified_on AS modifiedOn
FROM phone_calls AS ph
INNER JOIN accounts AS ac ON ph.account_id = ac.account_id
INNER JOIN clients AS ci ON ac.client_id = ci.client_id
INNER JOIN industries AS ind ON ac.industry_id = ind.industry_id
INNER JOIN call_codes AS cc ON ph.call_code_id = cc.call_code_id
INNER JOIN time_zones AS zn ON ph.time_zone_id = zn.time_zone_id
INNER JOIN users AS su ON ph.owner_id = su.user_id
LEFT JOIN teams AS tm ON ph.team_id = tm.team_id
LEFT JOIN result_codes AS rc ON ph.result_code_id = rc.result_code_id
LEFT JOIN campaigns AS cp ON ph.campaign_id = cp.campaign_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su1 ON ph.first_attempt_by = su1.user_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su2 ON ph.last_attempt_by = su2.user_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su3 ON ph.modified_by = su3.user_id
WHERE ph.trigger_on < now()
LIMIT 1000
this is my current output.

What can I do to improve my tables or my query.

Answer 1

it could make a difference if you push a join into a subquery in the SELECT part of your query like this:
SELECT
ac.account_name AS accountName,
tm.name AS teamName,
cp.name AS campaignName,
cc.call_code_name AS callCode,
rc.result_code_name AS resultCode,
(SELECT zn.name FROM time_zones AS zn WHERE ph.time_zone_id = zn.time_zone_id) AS zoneName,
(SELECT ind.name FROM industries AS ind WHERE ac.industry_id = ind.industry_id) AS industry,
(SELECT su.first_name + su.middle_name + su.last_name users AS su WHERE ph.owner_id = su.user_id) AS owner_name,
su.login_user AS ownerLoginUser,
(su1.first_name + su1.middle_name + su1.last_name) AS firstAttemptBy,
(su2.first_name + su2.middle_name + su2.last_name) AS lastAttemptBy,
(su3.first_name + su3.middle_name + su.last_name) AS modifiedBy,
ci.name AS clientName,
ph.trigger_on AS triggerOn,
ph.created_on AS createdOn,
ph.first_attempt_on AS firstAttemptOn,
ph.call_subject AS callSubject,
ph.status,
ph.last_attempt_on AS lastAttemptOn,
ph.total_attempts AS totalAttempts,
ph.call_direction AS callDirection,
ph.call_notes AS callNotes,
ph.call_duration AS callDuration,
ph.modified_on AS modifiedOn
FROM phone_calls AS ph
INNER JOIN accounts AS ac ON ph.account_id = ac.account_id
INNER JOIN clients AS ci ON ac.client_id = ci.client_id
INNER JOIN call_codes AS cc ON ph.call_code_id = cc.call_code_id
INNER JOIN time_zones AS zn ON ph.time_zone_id = zn.time_zone_id
LEFT JOIN teams AS tm ON ph.team_id = tm.team_id
LEFT JOIN result_codes AS rc ON ph.result_code_id = rc.result_code_id
LEFT JOIN campaigns AS cp ON ph.campaign_id = cp.campaign_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su1 ON ph.first_attempt_by = su1.user_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su2 ON ph.last_attempt_by = su2.user_id
LEFT JOIN users AS su3 ON ph.modified_by = su3.user_id
WHERE ph.trigger_on < now()
LIMIT 1000
here i pushed 3 joins into your SELECT part.
