FROM ... tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY tvc, ... LEFT JOIN tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY ON ...
cross-joins four previous tables with tbl_venu-capacity, then left
joins seven tables including tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY with tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY!

FROM tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF tvax, ... LEFT JOIN tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF ON ...
cross-joins five previous tables with tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF, then left joins
seven tables including tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF with tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF!

FROM tbl_VENUE_AGES tvage ... LEFT JOIN  ... tbl_VENUE_AGES ...
cross-joins six previous tables with tbl_VENUE_AGES, then left joins
seven tables including tbl_VENUE_AGES with tbl_VENUE_AGES!

The double joins and cross joins will drive the server crazy. It's incoherent---the query makes no use of the double/cross/self-joins. Strong suggestion: lose the comma joins entirely, lose the duplicate joins, and write the join logic as explicit joins, for example

SELECT ...
FROM tourdates td
INNER JOIN artist_tourdate AS artd USING (td_id)
INNER JOIN tbl_artst AS art ON artd.artist_id = art.pkey
INNER JOIN tbl_venues AS tv ON td.venue_id=tv.ID
LEFT JOIN tbl_venue_capacity AS tvc ON tv.ID=tvc.venue_id
LEFT JOIN tbl_venue_age_xref AS tvax ON tv.ID=tvax.Venue_id
LEFT JOIN tbl_venue_ages AS tvage ON tvax.VENUE_ID = tvage.pkey
WHERE td_date > NOW()
LIMIT 500

Dear All,

I've been hashing out this query for awhile with no luck as of yet.
Basically the query works if I put a limit of 500 or so but when I do the full query it takes up so many resource that the database engine is useless.

Here is the query:

SELECT DISTINCT (td.td_id) ,td.venue_id as ven_id, td.td_date as td_date, art.NAME as art_name,art.WEB as art_url, artd.artist_id as art_id, tv.ID, tv.NAME as ven_name, tv.ADDR1 ven_add0, tv.ADDR2 as ven_add1,tv.CITY ven_city,tv.STATE ven_state, tv.ZIPCODE ven_zip,tv.COUNTRY ,tv.WEBSITE as ven_url,tvc.SIZE as capacity,
tvage.TYPE as age,tv.TICKETAGNCY1 as tix0, tv.TICKETAGNCY2 as tix1

FROM tourdates td, tbl_ARTST as art, artist_tourdate artd , tbl_VENUES tv, tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY tvc ,tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF tvax, tbl_VENUE_AGES tvage

LEFT JOIN tbl_VENUE_CAPACITY ON (tv.ID=tvc.VENUE_ID)

LEFT JOIN tbl_VENUE_AGE_XREF ON (tv.ID=tvax.VENUE_ID)

LEFT JOIN tbl_VENUE_AGES ON (tvax.VENUE_ID = tvage.PKEY)


WHERE td_date > NOW() AND (td.td_id = artd.td_id AND artd.artist_id = art.PKEY AND td.venue_id=tv.ID) LIMIT 500

Here is a description of the query:
+--------------------+--------+-----------------------+---------+---------+----------------+-------+------------------------------+
| table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+--------------------+--------+-----------------------+---------+---------+----------------+-------+------------------------------+

+--------------------+--------+-----------------------+---------+---------+----------------+-------+------------------------

I need to be able to run the full query on a daily basis without killing the DB engine.
The query needs to pull in about 50,000 results.

Does anyone see a way to optimize this query or rewrite it so it doesn't cause a huge system load?

Thank you,
