Re: Slow query after upgrade from 8.2 to 8.4

Hi,
Thanks for Replay. Actually I finally find a solution. If I rewrite the
query in this way:
explain analyze select 1
from acc_clients AC,
acc_debts AD,
debts_desc DD,
config CF
where AC.ino = 204627 AND
CF.id = (select id
from config
where
confid=CF.confid AND office = 18 ORDER BY archived_at DESC LIMIT 1) AND
AD.transact_no =
AC.transact_no AND
AD.debtid = DD.debtid AND
DD.refid = CF.confid LIMIT 1;

the plan and execution time really approves.

And for comparison I will repost the old way the query was written.
explain analyze select 1
from acc_clients AC,
acc_debts AD,
debts_desc DD,
config CF
where AC.ino = 1200000 AND
CF.id = (select id
from config
where
confid=CF.confid ORDER BY archived_at DESC LIMIT 1) AND
AD.transact_no =
AC.transact_no AND
AD.debtid = DD.debtid AND
CF.office = 18 AND
DD.refid = CF.confid LIMIT 1;

This is the query plan of the upper query.

When we have 8.4.9 installed I will try the query and post the result.
