Slow subquery in MySQL - mysql

im trying to generate a report using CodeIgniter and Datatables.net .
Now i'm trying to the amount of closed jobs (its a human resources system). I used to query all jobs and in PHP do a foreach and then doing the calcs.
Because im want to use all the features of Datatables (sorting specifically) im trying to do all the calcs in mySQL.
The problem is: the second subquery is very very very slow.
SELECT
jobs.jobs_id, clients.nome_fantasia, concat_ws(' ', user_profiles.first_name, user_profiles.last_name) as fullname,
jobs.titulo_vaga, jobs.qtd_vagas, company.name as nome_company, jobs_status.name as status_name, DATEDIFF(NOW(), jobs.data_abertura) as date_idade,
(select count(job_cv.jobs_id) from job_cv where job_cv.jobs_id = jobs.jobs_id) as qtd_int,
(select count(distinct job_cv.user_id) from job_cv_history join job_cv on job_cv.job_cv_id = job_cv_history.job_cv_id where job_cv_history.status = '11' and job_cv.jobs_id = jobs.jobs_id ) as fechadas
FROM (jobs)
JOIN clients ON lients.clients_id=jobs.clients_idJOIN user_profiles ON jobs.consultor_id=user_profiles.user_id
JOIN jobs_status ON jobs.status=jobs_status.jobs_status_id
JOIN company ON jobs.company_id=company.company_id
LIMIT 50
Some one can help me? I can provide more information if its needed.
UPDATE
The idea to use JOIN instead SELECT work with the first subquery but with the second one not, there a way to pass a 'variable' to use inside the subquery? Like the current jobs_id?
UPDATE AGAIN
This line works fine by itself. But inside the subquery take about a minute with worng values
SELECT job_cv.jobs_id,count(distinct job_cv.user_id) AS fechadas
FROM job_cv_history
JOIN job_cv
ON job_cv.job_cv_id = job_cv_history.job_cv_id
WHERE job_cv_history.status = '11'
GROUP BY job_cv.jobs_id

It is not subquery that is slow. It's the fact, that you're executing these subqueries for each row returned from outer query. Move these to joins instead, and you should observe increase in performance.
SELECT
jobs.jobs_id, clients.nome_fantasia, concat_ws(' ', user_profiles.first_name, user_profiles.last_name) as fullname,
jobs.titulo_vaga, jobs.qtd_vagas, company.name as nome_company, jobs_status.name as status_name, DATEDIFF(NOW(), jobs.data_abertura) as date_idade,
qtd.qtd_int,
fechadas.fechadas
FROM (jobs)
JOIN clients ON lients.clients_id=jobs.clients_idJOIN user_profiles ON jobs.consultor_id=user_profiles.user_id
JOIN jobs_status ON jobs.status=jobs_status.jobs_status_id
JOIN company ON jobs.company_id=company.company_id
JOIN (
SELECT jobs_id, count(jobs_id) AS qtd_int FROM job_cv GROUP BY jobs_id
) AS qtd ON qtd.jobs_id = jobs.jobs_id
JOIN (
SELECT job_cv.user_id, count(distinct job_cv.user_id) AS fechadas
FROM job_cv_history
JOIN job_cv
ON job_cv.job_cv_id = job_cv_history.job_cv_id
WHERE job_cv_history.status = '11'
GROUP BY job_cv.user_id
) AS fechadas ON job_cv.jobs_id = jobs.jobs_id
LIMIT 50

You may try to create these indexes:
ALTER TABLE `job_cv` ADD INDEX `job_cv_cindex` (`job_cv_id` ASC, `jobs_id` ASC, `user_id` ASC);
ALTER TABLE `job_cv_history` ADD INDEX `job_cv_history_cindex` (`job_cv_id` ASC, `status` ASC);

use Joins instead of sub queries. It significantly improves the performance in MySql.
try to use Left join on your case and see if performance improves or not

Speeding up mysql query

I have a mysql query to join four tables and I thought that it was just best to join tables but now that mysql data is getting bigger the query seems to cause the application to stop execution.
SELECT
`purchase_order`.`id`,
`purchase_order`.`po_date` AS po_date,
`purchase_order`.`po_number`,
`purchase_order`.`customer_id` AS customer_id ,
`customer`.`name` AS customer_name,
`purchase_order`.`status` AS po_status,
`purchase_order_items`.`product_id`,
`purchase_order_items`.`po_item_name`,
`product`.`weight` as product_weight,
`product`.`pending` as product_pending,
`product`.`company_owner` as company_owner,
`purchase_order_items`.`uom`,
`purchase_order_items`.`po_item_type`,
`purchase_order_items`.`order_sequence`,
`purchase_order_items`.`pending_balance`,
`purchase_order_items`.`quantity`,
`purchase_order_items`.`notes`,
`purchase_order_items`.`status` AS po_item_status,
`purchase_order_items`.`id` AS po_item_id
FROM `purchase_order`
INNER JOIN customer ON `customer`.`id` = `purchase_order`.`customer_id`
INNER JOIN purchase_order_items ON `purchase_order_items`.`po_id` = `purchase_order`.`id`
INNER JOIN product ON `purchase_order_items`.`product_id` = `product`.`id`
GROUP BY id ORDER BY `purchase_order`.`po_date` DESC LIMIT 0, 20
my problem really is the query that takes a lot of time to finish. Is there a way to speed this query or to change this query for faster retrieval of the data?
heres the EXPLAIN EXTENED as requested in the comments.
Thanks in advance, I really hope this is the right channel for me to ask. If not please let me know.
Will this give you the correct list of ids?
SELECT id
FROM purchase_order
ORDER BY`po_date` DESC
LIMIT 0, 20
If so, then start with that before launching into the JOIN. You can also (I think) get rid of the GROUP BY that is causing an "explode-implode" of rows.
SELECT ...
FROM ( SELECT id ... (as above) ...) AS ids
JOIN purchase_order po ON po.id = ids.id
JOIN ... (the other tables)
GROUP BY ... -- (this may be problematic, especially with the LIMIT)
ORDER BY po.po_date DESC -- yes, this needs repeating
-- no LIMIT
Something like this
SELECT
`purchase_order`.`id`,
`purchase_order`.`po_date` AS po_date,
`purchase_order`.`po_number`,
`purchase_order`.`customer_id` AS customer_id ,
`customer`.`name` AS customer_name,
`purchase_order`.`status` AS po_status,
`purchase_order_items`.`product_id`,
`purchase_order_items`.`po_item_name`,
`product`.`weight` as product_weight,
`product`.`pending` as product_pending,
`product`.`company_owner` as company_owner,
`purchase_order_items`.`uom`,
`purchase_order_items`.`po_item_type`,
`purchase_order_items`.`order_sequence`,
`purchase_order_items`.`pending_balance`,
`purchase_order_items`.`quantity`,
`purchase_order_items`.`notes`,
`purchase_order_items`.`status` AS po_item_status,
`purchase_order_items`.`id` AS po_item_id
FROM (SELECT id, po_date, po_number, customer_id, status
FROM purchase_order
ORDER BY `po_date` DESC
LIMIT 0, 5) as purchase_order
INNER JOIN customer ON `customer`.`id` = `purchase_order`.`customer_id`
INNER JOIN purchase_order_items
ON `purchase_order_items`.`po_id` = `purchase_order`.`id`
INNER JOIN product ON `purchase_order_items`.`product_id` = `product`.`id`
GROUP BY purchase_order.id DESC
LIMIT 0, 5
You need to be sure that purchase_order.po_date and all id column are indexed. You can check it with below query.
SHOW INDEX FROM yourtable;
Since you mentioned that data is getting bigger. I would suggest doing sharding and then you can parallelize multiple queries. Please refer to the following article
Parallel Query for MySQL with Shard-Query
First, I cleaned up readability a bit. You don't need tick marks around every table.column reference. Also, for short-hand, using aliases works well. Ex: "po" instead of "purchase_order", "poi" instead of "purchase_order_items". The only time I would use tick marks is around reserved words that might cause a problem.
Second, you don't have any aggregations (sum, min, max, count, avg, etc.) in your query so you should be able to strip the GROUP BY clause.
As for indexes, I would have to assume you have an index on your reference tables on their respective "id" key columns.
For your Purchase Order table, I would have an index on that based on the "po_date" in the first index field position in case you already had an index using it. Since your Order by is on that, let the engine jump directly to those dated records first and you have your descending order resolved.
SELECT
po.id,
po.po_date,
po.po_number,
po.customer_id,
c.`name` AS customer_name,
po.`status` AS po_status,
poi.product_id,
poi.po_item_name,
p.weight as product_weight,
p.pending as product_pending,
p.company_owner,
poi.uom,
poi.po_item_type,
poi.order_sequence,
poi.pending_balance,
poi.quantity,
poi.notes,
poi.`status` AS po_item_status,
poi.id AS po_item_id
FROM
purchase_order po
INNER JOIN customer c
ON po.customer_id = c.id
INNER JOIN purchase_order_items poi
ON po.id = poi.po_id
INNER JOIN product p
ON poi.product_id = p.id
ORDER BY
po.po_date DESC
LIMIT
0, 20

How to speedup my update query associated with subquery

I have a query which is pretty that contains LEFT JOIN subquery. It takes 20 minutes to load completely.
Here is my query:
UPDATE orders AS o
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT obe_order_master_id, COUNT(id) AS count_files, id, added
FROM customer_instalments
GROUP BY obe_order_master_id
) AS oci ON oci.obe_order_master_id = SUBSTRING(o.order_id, 4)
SET o.final_customer_file_id = oci.id,
o.client_work_delivered = oci.added
WHERE oci.count_files = 1
Is there any way that I can make this query runs faster?
Move Where condition in Temp Table and replace WHERE with HAVING Clause, this will eliminate unnecessary rows from temp table so reduce the filtering and may help to improve performance
UPDATE orders AS o
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT obe_order_master_id, id, added
FROM customer_instalments
GROUP BY obe_order_master_id
HAVING COUNT(id) = 1
) AS oci ON oci.obe_order_master_id = SUBSTRING(o.order_id, 4)
SET o.final_customer_file_id = oci.id,
o.client_work_delivered = oci.added
I would suggest to create separate column for Order_id substring and make index on it. Then use this column in WHERE.

How to optimize this complected query?

While working with following query on mysql, Its getting locked,
SELECT event_list.*
FROM event_list
INNER JOIN members
ON members.profilenam=event_list.even_loc
WHERE (even_own IN (SELECT frd_id
FROM network
WHERE mem_id='911'
GROUP BY frd_id)
OR even_own = '911' )
AND event_list.even_active = 'y'
GROUP BY event_list.even_id
ORDER BY event_list.even_stat ASC
The Inner query inside IN constraint has many frd_id, So because of that above query is slooow..., So please help.
Thanks.
Try this:
SELECT el.*
FROM event_list el
INNER JOIN members m ON m.profilenam = el.even_loc
WHERE el.even_active = 'y' AND
(el.even_own = 911 OR EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM network n WHERE n.mem_id=911 AND n.frd_id = el.even_own))
GROUP BY el.even_id
ORDER BY el.even_stat ASC
You don't need the GROUP BY on the inner query, that will be making the database engine do a lot of unneeded work.
If you put even_own = '911' before the select from network, then if even_own IS 911 then it will not have to do the subquery.
Also why do you have a group by on the subquery?
Also run explain plan top find out what is taking the time.
This might work better:
( SELECT e.*
FROM event_list AS e
INNER JOIN members AS m ON m.profilenam = e.even_loc
JOIN network AS n ON e.even_own = n.frd_id
WHERE n.mem_id = '911'
AND e.even_active = 'y'
ORDER BY e.even_stat ASC )
UNION DISTINCT
( SELECT e.*
FROM event_list AS e
INNER JOIN members AS m ON m.profilenam = e.even_loc
WHERE e.even_own = '911'
AND e.even_active = 'y' )
ORDER BY e.even_stat ASC
Since I don't know whether the JOINs one-to-many (or what), I threw in DISTINCT to avoid dups. There may be a better way, or it may be unnecessary (that is, UNION ALL).
Notice how I avoid two things that are performance killers:
OR -- turned into UNION
IN (SELECT...) -- turned into JOIN.
I made aliases to cut down on the clutter. I moved the ORDER BY outside the UNION (and added parens to make it work right).

MySql query runs very slow(actually never gives output) without where clause

I have a mysql query and it works fine when i use where clause, but when i donot use
where clause it gone and never gives the output and finally timeout.
Actually i have used Explain command to check the performance of the query and in both cases the Explain gives the same number of rows used in joining.
I have attached the image of output got with Explain command.
Below is the query.
I couldn't figure whats the problem here.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, as many people have said, the key is that when you have the where clause, mysql engine filters the table M_CLIENT_INFO --probably drammatically--.
A similar result as removing the where clause is to to add this where clause:
where 1 = 1
You will see that the performance is degraded also because mysql will try to get all the data.
Remove the where clause and all columns from select and add a count to see how many records you get. If it is reasonable, say up to 10k, then do the following,
put back the select columns related to M_CLIENT_INFO
do not include the nested one "TAGS"
remove all your joins
run your query without where clause and gradually include the joins
this way you'll find out when the timeout is caused.
I would try the following. First, MySQL has a keyword "STRAIGHT_JOIN" which tells the optimizer to do the query in the table order you've specified. Since all you left-joins are child-related (like a lookup table), you don't want MySQL to try and interpret one of those as a primary basis of the query.
SELECT STRAIGHT_JOIN ... rest of query.
Next, your M_PROJECT_INFO table, I dont know how many columns of data are out there, but you appear to be concentrating on just a few columns on your DISTINCT aggregates. I would make sure you have a covering index on these elements to help the query via an index on
( Client_ID, Project_Type, Status, Project_ID )
This way the engine can apply the criteria and get the distinct all out of the index instead of having to go back to the raw data pages for the query.
Third, your M_CLIENT_INFO table. Ensure that has an index on both your criteria, group by AND your Order By, and change your order by from the aliased "CLIENT_NAME" to the actual column of the SQL table so it matches the index
( Date_Added, Client_ID, Name )
I have "name" in ticks as it is also a reserved word and helps clarify the column, not the keyword.
Next, the WHERE clause. Whenever you apply a function to an indexed column name, it doesn't work the greatest, especially on date/time fields... You might want to change your where clause to
WHERE MCI.Date_Added between '2012-01-01' and '2012-12-31 23:59:59'
so the BETWEEN range is showing the entire year and the index can better be utilized.
Finally, if the above do not help, I would consider splitting your query some. The GROUP_CONCACT inline select for the TAGS might be a bit of a killer for you. You might want to have all the distinct elements first for the grouping per client, THEN get those details.... Something like
select
PQ.*,
group_concat(...) tags
from
( the entire primary part of the query ) as PQ
Left join yourGroupConcatTableBasis on key columns

Why Does My MySQL Query Using a Subselect Hang?

The following query hangs: (although subqueries perfomed separately are fine)
I don't know how to make the explain table look ok. If someone tells me, I'll clean it up.
select
sum(grades.points)) as p,
from assignments
left join grades using (assignmentID)
where gradeID IN
(select grades.gradeID
from assignments
left join grades using (assignmentID)
where ... grades.date <= '1255503600' AND grades.date >= '984902400'
group by assignmentID order by grades.date DESC);
I think the problem is with the first grades table... the type ALL with that many rows seems to be the cause.. Everything is indexed.
I uploaded the table as an image. Couldn't get the formatting right:
http://imgur.com/AjX34.png
A commenter wanted the full where clause:
explain extended select count(assignments.assignmentID) as asscount, sum(TRIM(TRAILING '-' FROM grades.points)) as p, sum(assignments.points) as t
from assignments left join grades using (assignmentID)
where gradeID IN
(select grades.gradeID from assignments left join grades using (assignmentID) left join as_types on as_types.ID = assignments.type
where assignments.classID = '7815'
and (assignments.type = 30170 )
and grades.contactID = 7141
and grades.points REGEXP '^[-]?[0-9]+[-]?'
and grades.points != '-'
and grades.points != ''
and (grades.pointsposs IS NULL or grades.pointsposs = '')
and grades.date <= '1255503600'
AND grades.date >= '984902400'
group by assignmentID
order by grades.date DESC);

Suppose you use a Real Database (ie, any database except MySQL, but I'll use Postgres as an example) to do this query :
SELECT * FROM ta WHERE aid IN (SELECT subquery)
a Real Database would look at the subquery and estimate its rowcount :
If the rowcount is small (say, less than a few millions)
It would run the subquery, then build an in-memory hash of ids, which also makes them unique, which is a feature of IN().
Then, if the number of rows pulled from ta is a small part of ta, it would use a suitable index to pull the rows. Or, if a major part of the table is selected, it would just scan it entirely, and lookup each id in the hash, which is very fast.
If however the subquery rowcount is quite large
The database would probably rewrite it as a merge JOIN, adding a Sort+Unique to the subquery.
However, you are using MySQL. In this case, it will not do any of this (it is gonna re-execute the subquery for each row of your table) so it will take 1000 years. Sorry.
If your subquery performs fine when it is executed separately, then try using a JOIN rather than IN, like this:
select count(assignments.assignmentID) as asscount, sum(TRIM(TRAILING '-' FROM grades.points)) as p, sum(assignments.points) as t
from assignments left join grades using (assignmentID)
join
(select grades.gradeID from assignments left join grades using (assignmentID) left join as_types on as_types.ID = assignments.type
where assignments.classID = '7815'
and (assignments.type = 30170 )
and grades.contactID = 7141
and grades.points REGEXP '^[-]?[0-9]+[-]?'
and grades.points != '-'
and grades.points != ''
and (grades.pointsposs IS NULL or grades.pointsposs = '')
and grades.date <= '1255503600'
AND grades.date >= '984902400'
group by assignmentID
order by grades.date DESC) using (gradeID);
There really isn't enough information to answer your question, and you've put a ... in the middle of the where clause which is weird. How big are the tables involved and what are the indexes?
Having said that, if there are too many terms in an in clause, you can see seriously degraded performance. Replace the use of in with a right join.
For starters, the table as_types in the in clause is not used. Left joining it serves no purpose so get rid of it.
That leaves the in clause having only the assignments and grades table from the outer query. Clearly the wheres the modify assignments belong in the where clause for the outer query. You should move all of the where grades=whatever into the on clause of the left join to grades.
The query is a little tough to follow, but I suspect that the subquery isn't necessary at all.
It seems like your query is basically thus:
SELECT FOO()
FROM assignments LEFT JOIN grades USING (assignmentID)
WHERE gradeID IN
(
SELECT grades.gradeID
FROM assignments LEFT JOIN grades USING (assignmentID)
WHERE your_conditions = TRUE
);
But, you're not doing anything really fancy in the where clause in the subquery.
I suspect something more like
SELECT FOO()
FROM assignments LEFT JOIN grades USING (assignmentID)
GROUP BY groupings
WHERE your_conditions_with_some_tweaks = TRUE;
would work just as well.
If I'm missing some key logic here please comment back and I'll edit/delete this post.
