Optimization Mysql Query Left Join


We want to map the entries of the calibration_data to the calibration data by following query. But the duration of this query is quite too long in my opinion (>24h).

Is there any optimization possible? We added for testing more Indexes as needed right now but it didn't had any impact on the duration.

[Edit]

The hardware shouldn't be the biggest bottleneck

  • 128 GB RAM
  • 1TB SSD RAID 5
  • 32 cores

Solution

  • That's a nasty and classical one on "range" queries: the optimiser doesnt use your indexes and end up in a full table scan. In your explain plan ou can see this on column type=ALL.

    Ideally you should have type=range and something in the key column

    Some ideas:


    I doubt that changing you jointure from

    ON m.visit BETWEEN cal.BeginTime AND cal.EndTime 
    

    to

    ON m.visit >= cal.BeginTime AND m.visit <= cal.EndTime
    

    will work, but still give it a try.


    Do trigger an ANALYSE TABLE on both tables. This is will update the stats on your tables and might help the optimiser to take the right decision (ie using the indexes)


    Change the query to this might also help to force the optimiser use indexes :

    Insert into knn_data (SELECT cal.X           AS X, 
            cal.Y           AS Y, 
            cal.BeginTime   AS BeginTime, 
            cal.EndTime     AS EndTime, 
            avg(m.dbm_ant)  AS avg_dbm_ant, 
            m.ant_id        AS ant_id, 
            avg(m.location) avg_location, 
            count(*)        AS count, 
            m.visit 
     FROM   calibration cal 
            LEFT join calibration_data m
              ON m.visit >= cal.BeginTime 
     WHERE m.visit <= cal.EndTime 
     GROUP  BY cal.X, 
               cal.Y, 
               cal.BeginTime, 
               cal. BeaconId, 
               m.ant_id,
               m.macHash,
               m.visit; 
    

    That's all I am thinking off...
