How to speed up INSERT SELECT with join over string

Question

I want to call insert select and I try to use this select (with help from this INSERT SELECT query when one column is unique)

SELECT minids.userid, username, password, full_name, country, email,
      (select openclipart_files.id from aiki_users, openclipart_files
       where aiki_users.userid = users.userid and avatar like '%svg' AND
             filename = avatar) as avatar,
      homepage, usergroup, notify, nsfwfilter
FROM aiki_users users
INNER JOIN (SELECT MIN(userid) as userid FROM aiki_users GROUP by username) 
           minids ON minids.userid = users.userid;

I use it with insert

INSERT INTO openclipart_users(id, user_name, password, full_name, country,
email, avatar, homepage, user_group, notify, nsfw_filter) SELECT ...

It take very long to execute (I cancel it after few minutes)

aiki_users table have 100k rows and openclipart_files have 30k rows, basically I just copy all stuff from aiki_users to openclipart_users skipping duplicates and I want avatar to be id of the file where in old table is a string (only about 300 users have svg avatars about 1k users have non '' avatar but I only what svg).

IS there any way to quickly insert that avatar (without it INSERT SELECT execute in few seconds) into openclipart_users, any solustion that will work will be fine (by quickly I mean less then a minute).

Answer 1

Converting to join only syntax (getting rid of the correlated subquery and joining to a subselect instead):

SELECT minids.userid, username, password, full_name, country, email,
      clip.id as avatar,
      homepage, usergroup, notify, nsfwfilter
FROM aiki_users users
INNER JOIN (SELECT MIN(userid) as userid FROM aiki_users GROUP by username) 
           minids ON minids.userid = users.userid
LEFT OUTER JOIN openclipart_files clip ON 
           clip.owner = users.userid AND RIGHT(users.avatar, 3) = 'svg' 
           AND clip.filename = users.avatar

Try that out.

Answer 2

SELECT 
    MIN(userid), username, password, full_name, country, email,
    openclipart_files.id,
    homepage, usergroup, notify, nsfwfilter
FROM aiki_users 
LEFT JOIN openclipart_files  ON filename = avatar AND avatar like '%svg'
GROUP BY username

Answer 3

Using hint from @SPFiredrake with CASE and RIGHT I create this query

SELECT minids.userid, username, password, full_name, country, email,
       case RIGHT(avatar, 3) 
       when 'svg' then 
            (select openclipart_files.id 
             from openclipart_files
             where filename = users.avatar AND users.userid = owner)
       else 
            null 
       end as avatar, homepage, usergroup, first_login, notify, nsfwfilter
FROM aiki_users users 
INNER JOIN (SELECT MIN(userid) as userid FROM aiki_users GROUP by username) 
minids ON minids.userid = users.userid;

which run in 2-4 seconds (inner SQL was run only for those 300 cases).

Some Improvements:

SELECT MINIDS.USERID, USERNAME, PASSWORD, FULL_NAME, COUNTRY, EMAIL,
       (SELECT OPENCLIPART_FILES.ID
          FROM OPENCLIPART_FILES
         WHERE AVATAR LIKE '%svg' AND USERS.FILENAME = AVATAR) AS AVATAR, 
       HOMEPAGE, USERGROUP, NOTIFY, NSFWFILTER
  FROM     AIKI_USERS USERS
       INNER JOIN
           (SELECT MIN(USERID) AS USERID
              FROM AIKI_USERS
            GROUP BY USERNAME) MINIDS
       ON MINIDS.USERID = USERS.USERID;
