11:04 kados hi all
11:04 kados paul: I'm taking a look at searching queries today and I'm wondering what's the difference between these:
11:05 kados select distinct m1.bibid from marc_word as m1,marc_word as m2 where (m1.bibid=m2.bibid)and ((m1.word like 'block') and (m2.word like 'john'));
11:06 kados select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,marc_word as m1,marc_word as m2 where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and (m1.bibid=m2.bibid) and ((m1.word  like 'block')and (m2.word like 'john'))
11:06 kados (in my tests, with NPL data they seem to be the same ... am I missing something?)
11:07 paul you're right, they are the same. Except when you add "order by biblioitems.isbn" for example
11:07 paul ('morning kados)
11:07 kados (evening paul ;-))
11:08 kados ahh ... I see ... but I think the orderby is destroyed anyway
11:08 paul destroyed by who ?
11:08 paul NPL specific hack ?
11:09 kados I thought it was destroyed when the object was hashed
11:11 kados I think I'm wrong
11:11 kados so I had a real nice sort process that really messes up perfs for searches with result sets
11:12 kados it uses marc non-filing chars
11:12 kados I'm thinking of adding a colum to marc_word for biblio.title
11:12 kados (without the non-filing chars)
11:12 kados strictly for sorting purposes
11:13 kados so I can sort properly for English results (i.e., don't order by the articles a and the, etc.)
11:13 kados does that sound like the best solution?
11:14 kados it's too bad we can't make marc_word automatically sorted correctly
11:15 kados that would maybe be another way to do it
11:27 paul kados...
11:27 paul the marc_word is huge enough not to have another column !
11:28 paul i will add in the future (2 months ? 3 ?) a hack to order correctly the titles.
11:28 paul it will require a new column in biblio (let imagine biblio.Stitle, S being for "simplified")
11:29 paul the Stitle being filled with articles removed at the beginning of the field.
11:29 paul Also note that we should not expect too many perf improvements until we have marc_words.
11:30 paul I made some tests on my biggest DB (45000 biblios, 2 950 000 lines in marc_word)
11:30 paul with the marc_words, you have just 450 000 lines.
11:30 paul You can test yourself the effect for NPL with the following query :
11:31 paul select count(*), subfieldvalue,tag,subfieldcode from marc_word group by tag,subfieldcode,subfieldvalue
11:31 paul & count how many lines you will have.
11:31 paul I have some othe ideas to improve them more.
11:32 paul like "removing word indexes" option in MARC setup. To avoid indexing useless fields/subfields (like the 1xx ones in UNIMARC, or some others)
11:37 paul oups, my query does not work :
11:37 paul select count(*), word,tagsubfield from marc_word group by tagsubfield,word
11:37 paul is better
11:38 kados yea ... I've done that in the past and my result are similar
11:38 kados it will really speed up with marc_words
11:40 kados paul do you have the book "high performance mysql"?
11:40 paul nope
11:40 paul do you think I should buy it ?
11:40 kados yes
11:41 kados http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hpmysql/
11:42 kados (unless you already know all that stuff ;-))
11:42 kados it specifically addresses application design
11:42 kados citing useing mysql in environments where the tables are several _billion_ rows
11:44 paul ok, i'm buying it now ;-) (even if it's in english only...)
11:57 hdl paul: fais moi signe quand tu seras disponible
11:58 paul ok, faut que je reboote, puis je te rappelle (je finis juste un mail)
11:58 hdl ok.
12:06 kados paul: i just sent you an email about marc non-filing chars in MARC21
12:13 kados paul: i just sent you an email about marc non-filing chars in MARC21 (it may be useful for your upcoming sort feature)
12:13 paul yes, it's in my mailbox now
