Following query is taking a long time (upto 10 secs) to return the resultset. Would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand why.
I have run 'analyze table <tablename>' on all the three tables involved. The EXPLAIN output, record count and table description is also included. SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS art.article_id aId, art.title, aFt.seq_no sn, SUBSTRING(abs.abstract,1,10) abs FROM art, abs, aFt WHERE ( MATCH(art.title, art.subtitle, art.keywords, art.general_terms) AGAINST ('+recommender +systems' IN BOOLEAN MODE) OR MATCH(abs.abstract) AGAINST ('+recommender +systems' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ) AND art.article_id = aFt.article_id AND art.article_id = abs.article_id LIMIT 5 ; aId title sn abs 245121 Recommender systems 1 245127 Recommender systems for evaluating 1 331413 Workshop on recommender systems 1 353475 PYTHIA-II 1 Often scie 353481 Mining and visualizing recommendation 1 In this pa table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra aFt index PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 NULL 53191 Using index art eq_ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 3 aFt.article_id 1 abs eq_ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 3 art.article_id 1 Using where CREATE TABLE art ( -- Records: 54668 article_id mediumint(9), title varchar(255), subtitle varchar(127), keywords mediumtext, general_terms tinytext, PRIMARY KEY (article_id), FULLTEXT KEY title (title,subtitle,keywords,general_terms) ) TYPE=MyISAM; CREATE TABLE abs ( -- Records: 54681 article_id mediumint(4), abstract mediumtext, PRIMARY KEY (article_id), FULLTEXT KEY abstract (abstract) ) TYPE=MyISAM; CREATE TABLE aFt ( -- Records: 53191 article_id mediumint(9), seq_no tinyint(4), PRIMARY KEY (article_id,seq_no) ) TYPE=MyISAM; I am using mysql Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15, for mandrake-linux-gnu (i586).
