I have 2 tables:
Dictionary - Contains roughly 36,000 words
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `dictionary` (
`word` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`word`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
Datas - Contains roughly 100,000 rows
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `datas` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`hash` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`data` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`length` int(11) NOT NULL,
`time` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `hash` (`hash`),
KEY `data` (`data`),
KEY `length` (`length`),
KEY `time` (`time`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=105316 ;
I would like to somehow select all the rows from datas
where the column data
contains 1 or more words.
I understand this is a big ask, it would need to match all of these rows together in every combination possible, so it needs the best optimization.
I have tried the below query, but it just hangs for ages:
SELECT `datas`.*, `dictionary`.`word`
FROM `datas`, `dictionary`
WHERE `datas`.`data` LIKE CONCAT('%', `dictionary`.`word`, '%')
AND LENGTH(`dictionary`.`word`) > 3
ORDER BY `length` ASC
LIMIT 15
I have also tried something similar to the above with a left join, and on clause that specified the like statement.
