I don't know exactly how to explain this but I'm trying to get my second query optimized and write it properly.
This query is fast - 0.0005 seconds
select
wp_users.ID
from wp_users
inner join wp_usermeta
on wp_users.ID = wp_usermeta.user)id
where wp_usermeta.meta_value like '%user%'
limit 10
When I add this subquery it slows it down significantly - 5.4 seconds
select
wp_users.ID,
(select count(*) from wp_postmeta where meta_key = wp_users.ID) as posts_read
from wp_users
inner join wp_usermeta
on wp_users.ID = wp_usermeta.user)id
where wp_usermeta.meta_value like '%user%'
limit 10
When I increase the limit the execution time goes up, of course. Is there a way to write it so it executes faster?
First thing to try is to put an index on wp_postmeta (meta_key)
.
You can also try if left joining a derived table doing the aggregation once helps.
SELECT wp_users.id,
coalesce(wp_postmeta.count, 0) posts_read
FROM wp_users
INNER JOIN wp_usermeta
ON wp_users.id = wp_usermeta.user_id
LEFT JOIN (SELECT count(*) count,
wp_postmeta.meta_key
FROM wp_postmeta
GROUP BY wp_postmeta.meta_key) wp_postmeta
ON wp_postmeta.meta_key = wp_users.id
WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_value LIKE '%user%'
LIMIT 10;
An index on wp_users (id)
is already there I guess. One on wp_usermeta (user_id, meta_value)
might also help.
If possible you should not use LIKE
against a wildcard at the begining of the string. So if possible use LIKE 'user%'
instead or even = 'user...'
(fill the ...
with the right value).
wp_users isn't needed:
SELECT user_id,count(*) as posts_read
FROM wp_usermeta
JOIN wp_postmeta ON meta_key = user_id
WHERE meta_value LIKE '%user%'
GROUP BY user_id`
