mysql - SQL UPDATE query taking too long -
so new mysql, , trying run query update column if cell value present in both tables, , query taking forever run (it's been running 10 minutes , no result yet). 1 of tables 250,000 rows, , other 80,000, i'm not sure why taking long. query using is:
use the_db; update table1 join table2 on table2.a = table1.b set table1.c = "y"; i've changed names of tables , columns, query same. i've looked @ other answers on here , of them take long time well. appreciated, thanks.
for query:
update table1 join table2 on table2.a = table1.b set table1.c = 'y'; you want index on table2(a):
create index idx_table2_a on table2(a); also, if there multiple values of a match each b, generating lot of intermediate rows, , have big impact on performance.
if case, phrase query as:
update table1 set table1.c = 'y' exists (select 1 table2 table2.a = table1.b); and need same index.
the difference between queries 1 stops @ first matching row in table2.
