Hey,
I have tried to run a local service which claims to be a YouTube alike which is
named AVideo(used to be PHPTube).
I loaded the service with 220k+ videos from YouTube and have used MariaDB as
the DB backend.
The service moved slowly as the size of the videos DB growed from 100k to 150k.
I got a recommendation from the developer to use MySQL which didn’t made any
sense to me.
I tracked the issue to the SQL queries that the service runs.
Currently I am upgrading my local servers so the DB cannot be downloaded for
testing however I have seen a very interesting thing.
I will first put the query here:
```sql
SELECT u.*, v.*, c.iconClass, c.name as category, c.clean_name as
clean_category,c.description as category_description,
v.created as videoCreation, v.modified as videoModified
FROM videos as v
LEFT JOIN categories c ON categories_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN users u ON v.users_id = u.id
WHERE 2=2 AND u.status = 'a' AND v.status IN ('a','k','f')
ORDER BY likes DESC LIMIT 36, 12;
```
The ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON for that query is:
```json

While for the next:
```sql

v.*, c.iconClass, c.name as category, c.clean_name as

v.created as videoCreation, v.modified as videoModified
FROM videos as v
LEFT JOIN categories c ON categories_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN users u ON v.users_id = u.id
WHERE 2=2 AND v.status IN ('a','k','f')
ORDER BY likes DESC ) a WHERE a.ustatus IN ('a') LIMIT 1000, 900;
```
The ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON is the next:
```json
{
"query_block": {
"select_id": 1,
"r_loops": 1,
"r_total_time_ms": 8.047324959,

}
}
}
```
And what I am trying to understand is, what's the difference? Why would the
same exact query will result with this issue?
Just to notice that the next query will not run at all due to fields naming
conflict between u and v:
```sql
SELECT * FROM (SELECT u.* , v.*, c.iconClass, c.name as category, c.clean_name
as clean_category,c.description as category_description,
v.created as videoCreation, v.modified as videoModified
FROM videos as v
LEFT JOIN categories c ON categories_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN users u ON v.users_id = u.id
WHERE 2=2 AND v.status IN ('a','k','f')
ORDER BY likes DESC ) a WHERE a.ustatus IN ('a') LIMIT 1000, 900;
```
I am not new to the DB world that much but it's the first time I am getting my
hands dirty about such an issue.
I will share the full DB later on today so it could be used as a learning
material.
Also, are there any big public databases that can be used for learning and
testing purposes?
Thanks,
Eliezer
