We experiencing a slow select on InnoDB comparing to MyISAM - difference for execution on MyISAM is about 2 min., on InnoDB is 2 h.

The number of rows involved is 33 M. The row set in result is about 23M.

Can someone provide some advice?

Don't use DOUBLE (or FLOAT) for money, you could get rounding errors due to the back and forth between binary and decimal. Instead, pick suitable, but not excessive, values for m,n in DECIMAL(m,n).

33M rows, each about 1KB in size. That adds up to about enough to fill the buffer_pool (after allowing for other things allocated in it.) This implies that a table scan (which you are doing) will bump most stuff out of the buffer_pool and be I/O bound. Update: TABLE STATUS shows 17GB in the InnoDB version of the table; that is too small a fraction of the 40G buffer_pool for the following to take effect.

When you run the query again, the same thing will happen -- I/O bound and bump everything out.

Please provide SHOW TABLE STATUS for both the MyISAM and InnoDB cases.

OK, why did MyISAM work better?...

MyISAM is tighter when it comes to the size of a row; I suspect that it is half the size. So... But first, let's discuss the memory usage of MyISAM. The "key_buffer" holds index blocks only. The data blocks are managed by the OS. Assuming that you did not have any excessive memory usage in the MyISAM timing test, then the OS probably had room to keep all the data blocks in RAM. This means that a second run of the same query will be fast, and not I/O bound.

But... If you double the size of the MyISAM table, it, too, will suddenly take hours instead of minutes.

That is, you are falling off a cliff. But InnoDB, due to its allocation mechanisms, will fall off sooner.

So, what to do??

• Shrink the size of the table. DECIMAL(11, 2) takes 6 bytes and handles up to a billion dollars/euros/yen/etc., as opposed to 8 bytes for each DOUBLE.


• Break up the table (vertical partitioning).


• Build and maintain a Summary Table.


• Get more ram, and more ram and ...


• (My favorite) Rethink the need for the query. If, as the EXPLAIN estimates, it is returning 28M rows, what the heck will you do with that ton of data? If the client will further process it, perhaps SQL could do more processing?


• Etc. Explain more of your application; there are probably helpful clues.
