I am trying here to basically find users that do have sports & regions

  • 0

I am trying here to basically find users that do have sports & regions targeted by an activity. In the acces [users] table there is around 17K users. Each can have a certain number of sport interests and one region.

There query here look for each users that have one sport & one region at least that are targeted via the activities. Sports can be up to 75 when we select each of em [not quite good with an IN query].

SELECT a.user, pp.courriel
FROM acces a
LEFT JOIN acces_profil_sport ap ON ap.id = a.id
LEFT JOIN profil_perso pp ON pp.id = a.id
WHERE ap.sport_id IN
  (
    SELECT ac.sport_id
    FROM activite_sport ac
    RIGHT JOIN activite a ON a.activite_id = ac.activite_id AND a.is_cron = 1 AND a.cron_processed = 0
   )
  AND pp.region_id IN
  (
    SELECT ar.region_id
    FROM activite_region ar
    RIGHT JOIN activite a ON a.activite_id = ar.activite_id AND a.is_cron = 1 AND a.cron_processed = 0
  )
GROUP BY a.id

If I remove the sport lookup, the query takes arounds 30 secs to run. Otherwise it takes quite forever and use around 99% of the proc with mysql.

Any hints to help that ?

[edit : Table structure]
Acces : id (primary key), user, perso_id (Key/Foreign key to profil_perso[perso_id]) [some-other-fields]
profil_perso : perso_id (primary key) courriel, region_id, id (foreign key to acces[id]) [some other fields]
acces_profil_sport : id/sport_id (dual primary key), niveau_id (dual key with sport_id)

    I suspect your indexes are wrong. If you print out an explain select…, I can better comment on that. Further, I’m curious why you’re doing left / right joins and subselects.

    It seems to me that these should all be normal joins since the two left joins will only work if they exist. If they come up null, you won’t get a row because of the required subselect matching.

    As for the right joins, you need the ar bit there, which isn’t part of the right side. I’d either remove them or make them straight joins as well. I assume since you’re checking for what looks like unprocessed cron work, you want to keep them.

    SELECT a.user, pp.courriel
FROM acces 
JOIN acces_profil_sport ap ON ap.id = a.id
JOIN profil_perso pp ON pp.id = a.id
JOIN activite_sport ac ON ac.sport_id = ap.sport_id
JOIN activite a1 ON a.activite_id = ac.activite_id AND a.is_cron = 1 AND a.cron_processed = 0
JOIN activite_region ar ON ar.region_id = pp.region_id
JOIN activite a2 ON a.activite_id = ar.activite_id AND a.is_cron = 1 AND a.cron_processed = 0
