Hello, Nearly once or twice a day the mysql daemon on our FreeBSD server has to be restarted since it is taking up most of the processor.
One of the entries in our slow_queries log looks like this; # Query_time: 14074 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 11 Rows_examined: 1020472928 SELECT pp.art_num, pp.showprice as price, pc.custom_price, pc.custom_name, pc.custom_delivery, pd.instock, Stdnsv.Description FROM product_tags pt, products_prices pp, products_dists pd, filter_categories fc, product_linking pl LEFT JOIN cds_Stdnsv Stdnsv ON (Stdnsv.ProdID = pp.art_num) LEFT JOIN products_custom pc ON (pc.art_num = pp.art_num) WHERE pp.art_num = pl.art_num AND pp.art_num = pd.art_num AND fc.filter_type_id = 1 AND fc.filter_id = pl.filter_id AND (Stdnsv.Description != 'None' OR Stdnsv.Description != '') AND (Stdnsv.Description LIKE '%Media%Center%' OR pl.art_num LIKE '%Media% Center%') GROUP BY pp.art_num ORDER BY pp.showprice DESC LIMIT 100; That is about 3 hours and a billion rows examined. Is it likely that this is the source of my problems?
