Query is taking too much time .and impacting performance - mysql

Question

The below query is taking around 10mins to 1 hr to execute. And due to this we are getting load spikes frequently. Can anyone please help rewrite the query in a more optimised way.
Query:
select count(*)
from t_tab6 tab1
left join t_tab6_element_tab2 tab2
on tab2.tab6_id = tab1.id
left join t_tab3 tab3
on tab1.create_tab3_id = tab3.id
left join t_tab4 tab4
on tab2.element_id = tab4.id and tab2.element_type_id = 1
left join t_tab7 tab5
on tab2.element_id = tab5.id and tab2.element_type_id = 2
where tab1.domain_id = 522

Answer 1

Try below
select count(*)
from (Select id,create_tab3_id from tab6 where domain_id = 522) as tab1
left join tab6_element_tab2 tab2
on tab2.tab1nt_id = tab1.id
left join t_tab3 tab3
on tab1.create_tab3_id = tab3.id
left join t_tab4 tab4
on tab2.element_id = tab4.id and tab2.element_type_id = 1
left join t_tab7 tab5
on tab2.element_id = tab5.id and tab2.element_type_id = 2
Remove left join t_tab3 tab3 if you are using for count only and if possible add domain type check in where clause

Answer 2

Define an index on the column used in your condition:
create index t_tab6_domain_id_index on t_tab6(domain_id);
The query itself seems fine.
