How can I optimize this subqueried and Joined MySQL Query?
- by kevzettler
I'm pretty green on mysql and I need some tips on cleaning up a query. It is used in several variations through out a site. Its got some subquerys derived tables and fun going on. Heres the query:
# Query_time: 2 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 0 Rows_examined: 0
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT products . *, categories.category_name AS category, (
SELECT COUNT( * )
FROM distros
WHERE distros.product_id = products.product_id) AS distro_count,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM downloads WHERE downloads.product_id = products.product_id AND WEEK(downloads.date) = WEEK(curdate())) AS true_downloads,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM views WHERE views.product_id = products.product_id AND WEEK(views.date) = WEEK(curdate())) AS true_views
FROM products
INNER JOIN categories ON products.category_id = categories.category_id ORDER BY created_date DESC, true_views DESC ) AS count_table
WHERE count_table.distro_count > 0
AND count_table.status = 'published'
AND count_table.active = 1 LIMIT 0, 8
Heres the explain:
