Slow Queries When Using Views Compare To Direct Table Queries
I’ve having problems with my server load for a while now. I have two tables with different content, but I need to display them in the same results, so I created a view with a union all (named: top_news_videos). The problem that I’m seeing is that when running a select to the view it takes a lot longer (and in that way, more server intensive) than running the query directly to one of the tables. For example, I created a page where I run 7 queries similar to this one: MySQL Code: ...

Too Slow Queries
I am using version 5.0.4. I noticed that suddenly my queries were becoming too slow. I have data in three tables, with 40,000 rows, 50,000 rows and 70,000 rows respectively. I was able to run queries that joined the three tables together and get the results in less than 5 seconds. I tried updating the tables through a program that used a stored procedure to delete the tables but I had some other problems. Since the I restored the data in the tables from backup databases. Now I can't run any queries that join the three tables together, it waits for a long time and then times out. The data in the tables look good. Now I can't get the results from any of the other backup databases either. It look like the entire MySQL server has slowed down greatly. I tried rebooting the server to no avail.

Slow Queries!
I have a website which has a users table in a mySQL database. This users table is large (It has about 25 columns - most varchar(100)) but only has about 10000 records. The records contain user information which is searched with a javascript form. My problem is that when I click to 'view all', it takes about 7 seconds to load. This seems a lot? Does 25 cloums seem sxcessive in a table? Can anyone point me to some good tutorials / docs on improving query performance? I have defined the colums as best as I can, but I am using SELECT * from table, would selecting individual columns make a big difference?

What Causes Slow Queries
What causes periodic slow queries? I have checked my slow query logs and for some reason everyonce in awhile, a query thats never slow might be for example, one took 3 seconds to execute and every once in awhile a chat might take 10 seconds of cpu time while rest of the time 0.09...why is it it flexuates so much?

Slow Queries And Optimization
I am hosting a site with an increasing number of members. Letely the site has become slower because of too many queries are being used. Is there a way of asking the server which queries are used most often, as well as asking which queries take a long time to process so that I would know where to start my optimization process?

Slow View Queries
I have a fairly complex view which, when you execute a SELECT * shows all info very quickly (0.24 seconds to return nearly 3000 rows). However, when I start throwing slightly more complex queries at it, things really slow down - an average query can take 40 seconds to execute.

Slow Queries With LIMIT
Working with a large table (1 Million Records). Setting up pagination using LIMIT command. Queries near the end of the table are slow when non-indexed fields are selected (but not included in the 'where' clause). For example: With indexes on id (PK), and type: SELECT id, user_id, name, type, selected, creation_date FROM titans where type = 2 LIMIT 500010,10; +---------+---------+------------+------+----------+---------------+ | id | user_id | name | type | selected | creation_date | +---------+---------+------------+------+----------+---------------+ | 1000016 | 100001 | Uni Ekko | 2 | 0 | 1228149051 | | 1000017 | 100001 | Dynaneedle | 2 | 0 | 1228149074 | +---------+---------+------------+------+----------+---------------+ 2 rows in set (4.17 sec) If I only search on the ID field, the query is much faster. mysql> SELECT id FROM titans where type = 2 LIMIT 500010,10; +---------+ | id | +---------+ | 1000016 | | 1000017 | +---------+ 2 rows in set (0.36 sec) explain SELECT id, user_id, name, type, selected, creation_date FROM titans where type = 2 LIMIT 500010,10; +----+-------------+--------+------+-------------------+---------------+---------+-------+--------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+--------+------+-------------------+---------------+---------+-------+--------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | titans | ref | avatars_indx2,tst | avatars_indx2 | 2 | const | 381988 | Using where | +----+-------------+--------+------+-------------------+---------------+---------+-------+--------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Do Unnecessary Parentheses Slow Queries Down?
I know a person who seriously writes queries like this: SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE ((((my_col = 30))) AND (((other_col = 40)))) I told him all those parenthesis were unnecessary and he responded that he does it so later if he has to add more criteria the parenthesis will be there. I about fell out of my chair that sounds so ridiculous. So my question is, other than the obvious ugliness and being hard to read, is there any other reasons why NOT to do this?

Optimizing Slow Queries On Millions Of Records
I have a table that has millions of records in it. About 100 records are added every 5 minutes (one per OIDID) (the sample provided below has data for 2 OIDIDs (99 and 100) And I have a webpage that executes 9 queries one after the other, and then displays the results on the webpage. When the database was empty, this process was very quick. But, as the DB grew, it became slower. Now it takes about 38 seconds for all queries in the example below. MySQL 4.1 on Windows I have tried different indexes, and they do help and are used, but the queries still seem to take a long time. Code:

Fine Tune :: Timeout Slow Queries?
I have a very busy database with some tables having hundreds of thousands of records. I am running MySQL 5.0.16 on Windows. Some of the queries running on my database are not fined-tuned enough, and need improvement. However, the system is live in production and I am looking for a way to prevent MYSQL from committing Harakiri, i.e. from running very slow queries forever, taking the cpu to 50% and beyond for hours. My scripting language is PHP. I found that after a while the end user receives a timeout on the browser, but MySQL continues trying to run the query, sometimes for hours. My question is, is there a way to specify a timeout for MySQL so that it will abort any queries that it is running that have not returned a result by then. The end user is no longer around anyway, so I am looking for a way to protect the database resources (and in parallel I will start investigating how to optimize the slow queries)

MySQL Timing Out? Really Slow Queries, Already Indexed.
For whatever reason, MySQL does not seem to be executing. So, I ran a few stat functions and here is what I got: Uptime: 220372 Threads: 39 Questions: 18748899 Slow queries: 808 Opens: 28723 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 4096 Queries per second avg: 85.078 The "open tables" worries me for a few reasons. First, because it is 4kb (exactly, since it is divisible by 1024, evenly). This makes me think that maybe I am hitting a ceiling. Second, there are a few variables in MySQL that equal this, and maybe it's a cap on something. Here are the variables that equal 4096: query_cache_min_res_unit = 4096 table_cache = 4096 transaction_prealloc_size = 4096 Do any of those have anything to do with this? Am I even close? Are any of those values from mysql_stat a big deal?

Slow Queries, 4 Million Records, Need Educated Advice!
I have created an app a few years back to store some records in a DB. According our calculations we were never to exceed 500,000 records in the DB. Seems we were off by a decimal point or so. I set up a FreeBSD box with MySQL three years back and it has been filling up. One table has over 4,000,000 records. Yes, four million. As a web developer and not a DBA, I have struggled to upkeep the server the best I can. As of the last one million records the server has been struggling to keep up with multiple requests and as you can imagine the user base is growing too. Hardware: Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz 4 GB ECC RAM 800GB RAID5 SATA array Software: FreeBSD 5.3 Apache 2.0 PHP5 MySQL 5.0.2 Basically I have to perform a search on one of two columns in this huge table (10 columns, 4 million rows). The table is MyISAM with a single primary key that is used largely for updating row data. Most records are ten digit numbers for one column and a ten digit varchar for the other, but sometimes either column can be a series of characters up to 100 chars long, so each column is set for varchar(100). The action performed is SELECT count(*) FROM tableName WHERE col LIKE "%123%" then... SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE col LIKE "%123%" LIMIT 0,25 with "%123%" being any random string typed into a search window.

Complex Queries Versus Multiple Simple Queries
I am constructing a database to contain information about stories posted on my site. Information included will be things like title, author(s), genre(s), story codes, synopsis, etc. I worked out that storing this information properly, so that it can all be searched on, could take as many as ten tables. My question is this: Is a single complex query really better (more efficient for the server) than multiple simple queries? In other words, I may need the information for as many as 25 or even 50 stories for a single page. Is it better to get all of the information out of a single, massive, complex query, or is it acceptable to get the information essentially one story at a time, which could mean 25 or 50 simple queries...?

This page is a high traffic page and I don't a complicated query taking up mysql resources while it created a temp table and such. My question is this: Is it better for mysql to run a lot of smaller queries (ex: simple selects with zero or one join, group by) or one larger complicated query with everything combined. The thing i have to keep in mind is that the mysql selects are comming off the localhost that the web server is also running on so they share the same resources.

MySQLdb Slow

The data seems to be inserted correctly, it's just really slow.

Slow MySQL
mySQL has been running very slowly and I am getting errors. First I did 2 things I raised the ServerLimit number (apache) to allow for more connections, I also raised the max conncetions in my.cnf. I do not know if this took effect? That should have worked. But basically in phpmyadmin i get this error frequently. I am getting more traffic so I think it is that.

Slow Performance
On my index.php page, I have a simple query that checks the session_id against a table where I store other session_id'. If it's not there, it records it (unique hit). If it's there, it doesn't record it (not a unique hit.) This usually goes off without a hitch, and every month or so I empty the table. Right now I only have about 2500 rows, and it's taking forever to load the page. Is there something possibly server related that could be causing this? My host charges an arm and a leg just to see if there's something wrong if I bring up an issue, so I'd like some insight as to whether there's a commonly known server-side issue that can bog down performance.

MySQL Slow
I had downloaded a few years back mySQL v3.51 installed but never used it. Now I wanted to convert some B-TREE databases to mySQL and did some testing via ODBC to insert 70,000 records: My results: MS ACCESS: ~60,000 msecs MYSQL v3.51 ~18,000 msecs Impressed with the speed, I went ahead and got the latest MySQL v5.1. Uninstalled the older version, I had nothing there to preserve, so I did a simple new install with MySQL v5.1. I noticed the size of the files and BINEXE increasted by 1,000,000%. Ok, Bulky. Not a problem. I reran the same ODBC test, and now I got: MYSQL v5.1: ~450,000 msecs or 7.5 freaking MINUTES! What the hell happen? Nothing was done. I'm knew to MYSQL. I just installed it with all the defaults. I did choose "developer's machine" for the "optimizer wizard" I can't redistribute MYSQL v3.51 and force it down people's throats! I have to use what they are using already, if already installed. Not even my current system takes 1 minute to add 70,000 records. Why 7.5 minutes? All it is simple inserts/free statements.
