I'm trying to delete all notifications older than the first 99 for every user. Here's what I'm currently doing in rails:
User.all.each do |u|
u.notifications.order('created_at DESC').offset(99).destory_all
end
This works fine, but it's horribly inefficient. You end up with a lookup for every user plus a delete query for every notification.
How would I go about doing this in a single query or at least more efficiently?
That looks pretty good so far. Here are a few improvements I can think of
When call user, use .includes
to eager-load their notifications and .find_each
for batching.
User.includes(:notifications).find_each do |u|
...
end
You also may try wrapping your call in an ActiveRecord::Base.transaction
block
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do User.all.each do |u| u.notifications.order('created_at DESC').offset(99).destory_all end end
This will perform a batch transaction, instead of one-by-one.
Now, if you really want to make an improvement, use .delete_all
instead of .destroy_all
. This will cause deletions in purse SQL. Warning: Ruby callbacks like before_destroy
will not get called
