Need Some Help In Improving Performance On A Query (was: Hi People)


I need some help in improving performance on a query which is taking too long to execute.

I have 3 tables:
table 'photo' stores information on photos and it has 2 important fields:
- photo_id
- title

table 'item' stores information on generic items in the system (photos is an example). It has 3 important fields:
- item_id
- item_type (like 'photos')
- submitter_id

table 'user' stores information on users in the system. It has 2 important fields:
- user_id
- name

I would like to get the number of photos that either have a title that contains 'a' or the submitter's name contains 'a'

I tried the following:


SELECT count(DISTINCT photo.photo_id) NumItems
FROM (photo, item, user)
WHERE (item.item_id = photo.photo_id AND
item.item_type = 'photos' AND
(photo.title LIKE '%a%' OR (user.name LIKE '%a%' AND user.user_id = item.submitter_id)));
This query is taking way too long (sometimes up to 10 seconds
Note that I have over 2,000,000 records in the 'user' table (I suspect the problem is there)
I only have 2 recods in the 'photo' table
I only have 2 records in the 'item' table

Tips For Improving The Performance Of Mysql
I really hope I can get some general advice and suggestions about how I can improve the performance of our mysql server.

We have a dedicated webhost running a number of quite highly used websites. They all use mysql quite heavily at times. Recently we've had complete mysql gridlock and had to restart the server. What are the steps I can take to improve performance?

This is what i've done so far.

1. Optimise queries - i've been checking the queries we are running and trying to cache the results in a session rather than generating all the time. I've also installed something called mytop which is basically the same as the standard unix top command, except for mysql processlist and shows you the queries currently running and the time elapsed.

2. I have run explain on my queries and put in indexes all over the place to try and make lookups quicker.

Things i'm considering doing

1. Reducing the amount of data in the database and perhaps rotating the tables slightly, our biggest tables are approaching 2 million records and linking these together is i'm sure causing some of the problem, especially when we have to run a SUM query on them, even with good indexes.

2. Moving the database off the webserver and onto its own dedicated mysql server.

3. Load balancing the database and somehow clustering more than one database server, but this would cause serious headaches so not seriously considering unless it was thought the best solution.

4. Upgrading mysql... We are currently running version 4.0.27, should we upgrade to 5? Will this give us performance boost?

5. Re-compiling... After a google search I discovered that potentially we could recompile mysql with a better options set and perhaps improve performance.

6. Buying a book on mysql optimisation Any suggestions?

Improving LIMIT X,Y Query
I have only 1m records in my database running on a laptop of speed
1.6GHz, memory 512MB ram, and Toshiba MK8032GAX hard disk.

I use 'LIMIT x,10' for the query to utilise record paging.
When the value of x is nearer to 0, the query speed is fast.
Presently, 'LIMIT 0,10', 'LIMIT 50000,10' and 'LIMIT 100000,10' takes
about 0sec, 11secs and 4mins respectively.

1) Is there anything I should do, in terms of sql statement or database
design, to obtain the same speed for cases where x is in the middle or
nearer to the end?

2) How fast is a simple select statement (not select count(*)) on a
system like mine?

3) Suppose I left my original select .. limit query as is, what is the
minimum hardware that I need to improve the speed?

It averages 0.5-3 seconds throughout the day (it's run often enough that it shows up in my slow query log multiple times an hour for exceeding 1 second).

Adding a partial index on webpageUrl doesn't affect anything, and URLs can be quite long. Is there anything I can do to speed up that query? The table is updated too often to maintain separate url/count tables -- can't spare the resources.

Why People Reject MySQL 5
In the past months I have migrated to MySQL 5 and have not looked back. However over the past few projects I have encountered the development teams/clients prefer I use MySQL 4.

Can anyone suggest why they would prefer MySQL4 over MySQL5?

Determining Which Age Ranges Have People In Them
Making up another example here since it makes things clearer for everyone.

I have a people table. One of the fields in there is 'age' (as an integer). I want to output a series of links like the following:

People by age:
21-30
31-40
51-60

Each range would be a link to a listing of people in that age range. They stumbler for me is that I want to only show age ranges that have people in the table in that age range.

So above, the 41-50 range didn't show up because nobody in the people database had an age in that range.

I don't know how to do this without 10-11 queries each checking a range and counting the numrows returned. And I just know if I hardcode the last year to 150, there will suddenly be a need for a 151-160 range.

Any elegant way to do this without a loop or a dozen+ queries?

Query Performance On Column Conditions
I have a question regarding MySQL performance on column conditions. How MySQL reacts where you add a condition to the same column?

For example:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE status<>4
and the same query with extended column check
SELECT * FROM users WHERE status<>4 AND status<>5 ...

I am specially interested in situation where the conditions checks a column value and whether the data is specified:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE status<>4 OR status IS NULL

What's with the MySQL's performance in such cases? Is the same column (status in the above example) checked twice or the optimizer takes care of it in some special way?

Query Performance Question (using Index Slows Down?)
I have the following query processed in my app and was wondering if there is any way to make it faster.

SELECT * from city where last_sync > '1900-01-01 00:00:00' AND last_sync < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP limit [FILLED_IN_BY_APP],[FILLED_IN_BY_APP];

limit increments in steps of 500:
limit 0, 500
limit 500,500
limit 1000,500
etc.

explain returns:

+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | city | range | sync_dates | sync_dates | 8 | NULL | 138456 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------------+---------+------+--------+-------------+

I've observed that the higher the limit goes (starting from limit 100000, 500) the querytime substantially increases. Note that my table has roughly 300K records. Because they have been inserted all at once, the result at the first time running this query will be everything (300k).

However I've checked within my app how long it takes to execute the query and when -NOT- using an index the query times go to maximally 500ms while when I am using an index the max lies at 1 second.

My questions:
1) Why is limit(0,500) (30ms) executed faster than "limit (200000, 500)" (600ms)
2) Why is not using an index actually faster than using an index in this case?

Large Table Performance Problem With MYSQL Performance
I am doing some benchmarking of an application using MYSQL under Windows and I confused about the results.

Environment
Emachine 6417 with amd3200+ 64 bit processor 3.3GB ram

mysql 4.1 with odbc 3.51 MYISAM
windows 2003 server std edition
date, account and invoice number are indexed
Database size 18 million rows

I am querying (selecting) columns of a date and an account

our tester program that opens a socket to the Mysql database and does a select for the above n times
each time the date and the account is randomized to minimize hits on records closeby.
This program will perform over 1000 queries per second.
At the end, the Mysql socket will be closed
Even when the socket is closed each time, I still get 400 queries per second.

When I enter a similar query manually a web interface, I get about 3-9 second response time. This program opens/closes a socket for each query when using EMS I get similar 9 second results.

Does anyone have any suggestions Also in production, this table will be accesse for both read and write will I have problems. My testing showed that Innodb is much slower.

Creating List Of People Not On List
I am using the following query to try to get a list of people not in a specific list. I can further restrict it by company name but I am getting duplicate entries if the person is listed on multiple lists. (It is further reduced by a clause to restrict by company, but that is not causing errors AFAIK)

SELECT people.`First Name`, people.`Last Name`, people.PersonID, Company
FROM people LEFT JOIN listtrack ON people.PersonID=listtrack.Person_ID
WHERE (listtrack.List_ID<>4 Or listtrack.List_ID Is Null)

If I remove the List_ID<>4 clause then I get people who are not on any list., but I want to be able to add one person to multiple lists, without running the risk of data duplication.

IO Performance
I'm running a 5.0.51a mysql server on pentium M.

My application is made of 30 myisam tables written every 2 seconds and a very few reads (1 evry hour) from the whole table.
Each table is a kind of circular buffer (fixed number of line, current line).
Each line of a table contains a medium blob whith fixed size (about 70k).

I know the average output (Kb/sec) from the client to th server, says 200 Kb/sec.
When trying to measure this flow with 2 invocations of
"show global status like '%Bytes%';
followed by division by the elapsed time, I find between 1 and 2 times more (400 Kb/s).

When I measure the output to the disk with the iostat command (iostat -d -k 10) I find 4 times more (800 Kb/s) and a lot of read Kb/s (100 kB/s).

Is this normal or is there some tunning to do ?

During this time, the iowait rate is very high (30%).

Is this normal or is there some tunning to do ?

Best For Performance
It's a web application, accessed via internet, with around 100.000 clients and
each client have around 10 users. This web app have a database of around
100 tables.

Ok, the question is: Is it better to have each client with it's own catalog on
the database (each catalog with around 100 tables) or is it better to use one
catalog for all the clients (the tables would have a lot more records this way,
but only one catalog)?

Performance Of LIKE
I'm weighing the performance of materialised path vs. nested set algorithms, for storing a tree structure. The tree will have a lot of searches, a fair amount of inserts, but probably fairly few move-operations. The decisive factor seems to be the speed of a LIKE-query. I know, that regular expressions perform pretty well, as long as they are anchored. From this, I deduct, that LIKE must be able to perform equally good, since a path is indeed anchored. The questions is, if a LIKE will always result in a full scan, or if it can utilise indices? If it doesn't allow use of indices, would it be worth it, to use an equality comparison, on a substring (Which is essentially, what I'll be querying for) or am I just entirely missing the point?

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.

Performance (speed)
I have implemented a simple web crawler which uses a mySQL database to save a list of URLs to crawl. Obviously I dont wish to crawl the same URL twice so before adding a URL to the database I search the database first to ensure it hasn't already been added. When I add URLs to the database it is usually done it batches of 150 URLs, this is the process I use to search for an existing URL:

I use a PreparedStatement called 'findUrlStatement' which consists of: SELECT Url FROM urlTable WHERE Url = ?

Then I use this code to determine if a URL is already in he database:

findUrlStatement.setString(1, url);
ResultSet urlFound = findUrlStatement.executeQuery();
if (!urlFound.next()) {
// The URL is NEW, so add it to the database
}

As you can see the above routine is repeated for each of the 150 URLs. This typically takes anything from 4-8 seconds to complete.

SET Datatype Performance
I have a β€œlittle” performance problem using the SET datatype.

I have a database with over 800,000 rows which have 34 columns which are enum(β€˜0’,’1’) to describe various categories.

So when I search for a certain category or categories the search would be like:

Select count(id) from my_table where cat1=’1’ and cat10=’1’ and cat25=’1’;

If cat1 is indexed and cat10 is not.

Select count(id) from my_table where cat=’1’;

would return data in less than a sec while

select count(id) from my_table where cat10=’1’

might take over 5-6 secs to return the value.

Since I can’t index all 34 category columns, due limitations of how many indexes I can create (there are other fields that required index besides the categories) I looked into how to do this more efficiently. I came up with the idea if using the set datatype. I created a test table

CREATE TABLE set_test(
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
cats SET('cat1','cat2','cat3',……'cat34')
);

I loaded it up with 800,000 values from my main table and searches like

Select count(id) from set_test where cats&1;

Would return the count in less than a second.

So far so good. So I added a new column to the main database with the β€˜cats’ column, containing the same info I had in the set_test table. To my surprise:

Select count(id) from my_table where cats&1;

Would take over 6 secs to return the value.

Or course the table has 45 columns (including the old 34 category columns) instead of two, but does it really make that much of a difference? If so, what can I do to get a decent performance?

Insert Performance
I'm looking for the fastest way to insert large data into one table with no indices.

With the batch size of 5000 rows, test application in Java was doing MULTILINE inserts 5-10 times faster than anything else. My other considerations were plain inserts in a loop and PreparedStatement.executeBatch() which performed almost the same. I cannot go with INSERT DELAYED due to the nature of my application.

I could not find any confirmation that multiline is truly the fastest one. Also very surprised that executeBatch and plain inserts in a loop are almost the same.

Performance Enhancements
I'm a relative newbie to MySQL, my main role is network admin/management, we have a bespoke database system, that has been designed for us, it unfortunately has a fairly bulky FoxPro (C++) front end on it and within our local network runs fine, and even externally to our VPN based offices, the performance is also very good - what I would like to know, is what can i do to ensure superb performance all of the time, what monitoring tools can i use, and what resources are out there to further enhance it's stability and speed...

Also, are there any other good resources people may know of to actually convert this client/server based application to Web Based, i am a web developer in my spare time and work time, and as such have developed one or two database driven web applications....I feel that moving to a solution such as this could provide unparalleled expansion capability, whilst further enhancing the speed and stability of the application...

Performance Of Views
I have a large table in a database that takes a long time to do any queries on. All user queries on this table are done as part of a background process at the moment.

The table holds transaction information from organisation and account id's; each organisation may have more than one account id. This table contains the raw transaction data, so there are many 1000's of records for each id. The table is keyed on customer number, which is different from organisation id and one customer number may have more than one organisation id. Code:

Performance Vs Many Records
I currently have 300 records in table "metrics". These metrics are assigned to users. So each user has access to the 300 metrics. by default, my SQL will load all 300 on a page for the user.

I am now wanting the users to be able to say which they want to appear. So, out of the 300 they can tick the ones they want to see.

What's the best way of doing this?

I have thought about having a table called metrics_to_user which would store the user ID and a whole list of the metrics they choose. By default, every user would then need 300 records in this table? then they untick ones they dont want to see.

Or another way is just to store just the ones they DONT want to see. So when I am loading the page, I do some SQL to get all 300, but somehow forget the ones they dont want.

Performance Issue
Im running mysql4.0.13 on FrreBSD 5.1-release. The problem is MySQL is using 95% of the cpu leaving 0% idle and pushing the load avg up to > 1. This is the output of mysqladmin processlist..

$ mysqladmin -uroot -p processlist;
Enter password:
+--------+------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+------------------+
| Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info |
+--------+------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+------------------+
| 387980 | root | localhost | | Query | 0 | | show processlist |
+--------+------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+------------------+
$ uptime
8:51PM up 82 days, 5:18, 2 users, load averages: 1.03, 1.07, 1.23

I normally would expect a slow query or a table that requires optimisation, but without any hints from the processlist, where can i start looking?

Performance - Select *
I'm trying to optimize an application, which is putting way too much load on the rdbms. Currently most queries select *, but I'm wondering how much it matters in terms of performance to specify the exact number of columns needed ? Obviously, I'd transfer less data from rdbms to application layer, but apart from that is there anything to archieve ?

Performance Troubles
I'm having some trouble with optimising my database queries. I've recently been making use of a feature that my host provides that lets me create reports on any queries that are taking more than 1 second to generate. Quite honestly I'm not sure if it could be the table structure, indexing issues or just the overall query that's horribly coded.

I've attached the query report from the server in a post attachment. As you can see I like using my inner joins, hehe.

Here are the table rows, in case you're wondering how big tables are relative to each other:

archive - 428,720 rows
blo - 3,741 rows
users - 3,945 rows

It might be useful information.

So yeah, basically what can I do, if anything, to get these queries to move along. Points would be awesome.

Performance When Using Sub-selects
i'm using a mysql select that has a sub select in it, something like this:

Code:
SELECT *, (SELECT * FROM other_table) AS other_column FROM my_table;
i've never needed to do anything like this before so i'm a little curious about performance. do queries like this cause a significant performance?

Replication Performance
I am currently testing replication on mysql 5.0.9 running on Win XP Pro on 2 servers , one as a master , and another as slave , basic master-slave configuration. The slave have 2.5 GigaB of RAM,300GB SATA2 HD & on Intel 2.4ghz Core Duo and the master have 1 GigaB of RAM,200GB SATA HD & on Intel 2.0ghz Core Duo , which means the master server not as powerful as the slave server. Is it OK ? Which one requires more processing load , the master or the slave ? and why if you could explain (or at least provide the link)...

Problem With MYSQL Performance With ASP.NET
Large table performance problem with MYSQL performance with ASP.NET

I am doing some benchmarking of an application using MYSQL under
Windows and I confused about the results.

Environment
Emachine 6417 with amd3200+ 64 bit processor 3.3GB ram

mysql 4.1 with odbc 3.51 MYISAM
windows 2003 server std edition
date, account and invoice number are indexed
Database size 18 million rows

I am querying (selecting) columns of a date and an account

our tester program that opens a socket to the Mysql database and does a
select for the above n times
each time the date and the account is randomized to minimize hits on
records closeby.
This program will perform over 1000 queries per second.
At the end, the Mysql socket will be closed

When I enter a similar query manually a web interface, I get about 3
second response time.
This program opens/closes a socket for each query

Does anyone have any suggestions

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated

Also in production, this table will be accesse for both read and write
will I have problems. My testing showed that Innodb is much slower.

Linking Tables Performance
Does linking tables with JOIN offer any significant performance advantage or does it just make things more simple from a programming standpoint?

MySQL Performance Question..
I'm running a server with a Pentium 133 w/32meg ram, 512 pipeline burst,
with a wd 512MB HD and I want to store George Bush in our MySQL database.
As far as table definitions are concerned, should I use a BLOB or should I
store him on disk and make a reference to the physical location in the MySQL
table instead?
Will I run into any performance/storage issues when querying this data?
