Mysql – Query perfromance debugging

MySQLperformancequery-performance

I have recently installed a new module(paypal express) in Oxid 6.0.x backend.
After installation, the backend menu point "orders", in my backend, is timing out. Cause the query needs too long. I am not able to view orders (which is a CMS vendor resource).

I already tried to debug it with our managed hoster support who doubled our ram to increased mysql buffer size as well as php timouts etc. within the php.ini.

After the hoster php.ini change I still see the query with status "Copying to tmp table" even so the hoster has increased the query buffers by more then double

Question:
I am really not sure what the problem is. Does someone have an Idea what else I might try?
I cannot imagine that this one small join needs so much buffer space and time to excecute. Especially since the join to payppaypalpluspayment is the same as to oxv_oxpayments_de which is instant and on the same primary key.

This is the query I see running in processlist
Showing rows 0 – 0 (1 total, Query took 200.9683 seconds.) Has already decreased from about 10 min after the php.ini change

select count(*) 
from  `oxorder`
LEFT JOIN `oxv_oxpayments_de` AS `payments` 
    on `payments`.oxid=oxorder.oxpaymenttype
LEFT JOIN `oxv_oxpayments_de` AS pluspayments 
    ON pluspayments.oxid = oxorder.oxpaymenttype
LEFT JOIN payppaypalpluspayment 
    ON payppaypalpluspayment.OXORDERID = oxorder.OXID
LEFT JOIN payppaypalpluspui 
    ON payppaypalpluspui.OXPAYMENTID = payppaypalpluspayment.OXPAYMENTID
where 1  and ( oxorder.oxfolder = 'ORDERFOLDER_NEW' )

count(*) Result 150000
The problem may be this join, the others are instant results
rows 0 – 0 (1 total, Query took 153.2391 seconds.)

Select count(*) from  `oxorder`
LEFT JOIN payppaypalpluspayment 
    ON payppaypalpluspayment.OXORDERID = oxorder.OXID

This explain changed after adding indexes in

oxorder.OXPAYMENTTYPE;
oxorder.oxfolder;
payppaypalpluspui.OXPAYMENTID;
payppaypalpluspayment.OXPAYMENTID;

id  select_type     table                   type    possible_keys   key         key_len ref                                 rows    Extra   
1   SIMPLE          oxorder                 ref     OXFOLDER        OXFOLDER    98      const                               73450   Using index condition
1   SIMPLE          payppaypalpluspayment   ALL     NULL            NULL        NULL    NULL                                2634    Using where; Using join buffer (flat, BNL join)
1   SIMPLE          payppaypalpluspui       ref     OXPAYMENTID     OXPAYMENTID 34      payppaypalpluspayment.OXPAYMENTID   1       Using where; Using index

Which seems more strange even so its a litle faster (still 170s)

After this count selects the backend is doing the same query with select oxorder.* and one column from payppaypalpluspui (takes about 600 seconds)
The UI has then already timed out. When I delete the last two joins and try it manually on the server the query takes < 1sec

Clearly, they were missing some indexes. Shame on them.

First, is 150K the correct answer? Keep in mind that all the JOINs are done first, thereby exploding the number of rows, then the COUNT is done. Also, do you really need LEFT JOIN instead of JOIN?

What kind of value is in VARCHAR(32)? Some kind of hash? For large tables, that can make the query I/O-bound. Please provide the table sizes and the value of innodb_buffer_pool_size and how much RAM you have. With those, I can judge whether this is a real problem, or whether the tables are not yet big enough to cause trouble.

If the VARCHAR(32) are hex strings, then packing them and putting them into BINARY(16) would save a lot of space.

payppaypalpluspayment has 3 Unique keys. That is generally unreasonable. But I guess you have no control over that?

DOUBLE for money? Ouch. (This is an oft-discussed topic on this forum.)

Please pass your indexes and my comments on to Oxid.

Plus (very important): Use the same CHARACTER SET and COLLATION for any columns that you are JOINing on. (See oysteing's answer in your dup Question.)
