I have 3 tables: info, data, link, there is a request for data:
x
select *
from data,link,info
where link.info_id = info.id and link.data_id = data.id
offer optimization options: a) tables b) request. Queries for creating tables:
CREATE TABLE info (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(255) default NULL,
desc text default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=cp1251;
CREATE TABLE data (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
date date default NULL,
value INT(11) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=cp1251;
CREATE TABLE link (
data_id int(11) NOT NULL,
info_id int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=cp1251;
Thanks!

Answer
Never use commas in the FROM
clause. Always use proper, explicit, standard, readable JOIN
syntax:
select *
from data d join
link l
on l.data_id = d.id join
info i
on l.info_id = i.id;
Second, for this query your indexes are probably fine. I would also recommend a primary key index on link
:
CREATE TABLE link (
data_id int(11) NOT NULL,
info_id int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (data_id, info_id)
);
This is a good idea in general, even if it is not specific to this query.
