I have 5M records in eus table and 121 records in es table. I am doing a left join but the COUNT query is making my query very slow. How can I optimize this?
public static function getAllActiveEvaluationSymptomsWithNameForDataTable(){
$queryBuilder = new Builder();
$queryBuilder
->from(array('es' => static::class))
->leftJoin('EvaluationUserSymptom', 'es.id = eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id','eus')
->columns('es.id, es.title, COUNT(eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id) AS counts')
->groupBy('eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id')
->where('es.is_active = 1');
return $queryBuilder;
}
Raw query with Explain:
EXPLAIN
SELECT es.id AS id, es.title AS title,
COUNT(eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id) AS counts,
eus.date_created AS date_created
FROM eb_evaluation_symptom AS es
LEFT JOIN eb_evaluation_user_symptom AS eus
ON es.id = eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id
WHERE es.is_active = 1
GROUP BY eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id;
Output of Explain:
Explain Visual View:
This full table scan of count is making the problem.
Note: All JOINs and necessary columns fields are having proper indexes.

A correlated subquery can be a fast method:
SELECT es.id, es.title,
(select count(*)
from eb_evaluation_user_symptom eus
where es.id = eus.eb_evaluation_symptom_id
) as cnt
FROM eb_evaluation_symptom es
WHERE es.is_active = 1 ;
For performance, you want an index on eb_evaluation_user_symptom(eb_evaluation_symptom_id).
An index on eb_evaluation_symptom won't be of much help, because that table is so small.
