Hi, MySQL seems to really under perform when using joins.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT Product.ProductID, Product.Title, ProductFormat.Price,
ProductFormat.TradePrice, ProductFormat.ProductCode, ProductFormat.Format,
ShoppingCart.Quantity
FROM Product
LEFT JOIN ProductFormat
ON ProductFormat.ProductID = Product.ProductID
LEFT JOIN ShoppingCart
ON ProductFormat.ProductCode = ShoppingCart.ProductCode
WHERE ShoppingCart.PersonID = 13;
Product has about 1000 rows
ProductFormat has about 2000 rows
ShoppingCart has about 20 rows
Thing is, this query takes on average 3 seconds to return about 4 records!!
my other queries seem to be in the tens of milliseconds.
Thing is, all my queries with JOINS in them exhibit this poor performance.
PersonID is the primary key in ShoppingCart and the big table Product.
ProductFormat has ProductCode as its primary key.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks in advance
