PDO比mysql查询慢得多？

Question

I am using a PDO object in PHP to run MYSQL queries, and I have been trying to work on a query to speed it up. The query is as follows, as seen in my PHP file:

$query = 
"SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE f.position, s.item_id, s.item_type, s.title, s.caption, s.date
FROM apiv2.search_all s 
INNER JOIN apiv2.tags t 
USING(item_id, item_type) 
LEFT JOIN apiv2.featured f 
ON t.item_id = f.item_id AND t.item_type = f.item_type AND f.feature_type = :id 
WHERE t.tag = 'FeaturedContent'
ORDER BY position IS NULL, position ASC, date";

$mysql_vars[':id'] = $id;
$stmt = $connection->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute($vars);
$data = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

This query runs significantly differently depending on whether I include the ORDER BY clause, but only at the MYSQL console:

Why is there no difference between the unordering in the PDO or MSQL from PHP? Is there any way I could make it faster?

Answer 1

Unless your order by is for an indexed column and the optimizer thinks its a good idea to use the index an "ORDER BY" will result in a sort which takes significant time and resources for any result set of any size.

The reason the PDO version is taking longer is that your script is consuming rows slower than SQLServer can serve them up, so the Database is waiting for your program. As you are using an interpreted language and an API which does a considerable amount of manipulation of the row result this is only to be expected. This delay "sending data" is much larger (0.75 sec and 1.04 sec) than the overhead from the sort.

Note the slow retrieval is compounded by the order by. In the case of the unordered SQL the rows will be sent as soon as they are selected. In the case of the ordered select all the rows will have been selected and then sorted before the first result row is sent.

Answer 2

Can you please post the tables definitions (fields, types of fields, etc)?

I would first add a simple index on date in table search_all and

a simple index on tag in table tags .
