I have almost 3 Million records and table is quite simple. the columns are indexed in the main table but still this query takes 5 minutes to execute in Mysql command line.

SELECT  t1.*

    FROM  asins as t1

    WHERE  t1.Category LIKE 'Toy'

      AND  t1.SalesRank>=200

      AND  t1.SalesRank<=6000

      AND  t1.Price>=15

      AND  t1.Price<=40

      AND  t1.Title NOT LIKE '%lego%'

    ORDER BY  -SalesRank DESC

    LIMIT  0,10;

10 rows in set (5 min 46.43 sec)

here is the Explain.

I have just moved my DB to Amazon RDS ( 1GB RAM) and i am running the query via command line. My EC2 and database are in the same region.

• There is some thing going on with the table, I am running another
  Cron that is selecting the values form the same table and updating
  another table. Is that locking the database or some thing ?

The results are different,
what can i do to optimize it further.

any thoughts.

1. Since you are not using wildcards, replace t1.Category LIKE 'Toy' with t1.Category = 'Toy'
   


2. Add an index over (Category, SalesRank, Price)

Change ORDER BY -SalesRank DESC to ORDER BY SalesRank ASC (so that an index can be used), and add this composite index:

INDEX(category, SalesRank)

(Adding on Price will make the index bulkier, but not better.)

Also, don't use SELECT t1.* unless you really need all the columns. Instead, spell out the desired columns. This will cut back on the bulkiness of the intermediate table, if one is used.

After making those changes, provide EXPLAIN SELECT ....
