What you get with this Offer
I will analyse and optimise up to 5 slow MySQL queries — using EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify full table scans from missing indexes, index selection failures, filesort operations, temporary table creation, and suboptimal join order — and delivering optimised queries with supporting index recommendations and before/after performance comparison. MySQL's query optimiser makes different decisions from PostgreSQL or SQL Server's; understanding index selectivity, covering index design, and the conditions under which MySQL uses an index versus a full scan requires MySQL-specific expertise that translates poorly from other databases.
For each query I provide an EXPLAIN analysis with key findings, root cause identification, the optimised SQL, CREATE INDEX DDL with covering column selection, and a before/after execution time and rows_examined comparison confirming the improvement.
This service suits development teams and businesses with MySQL-backed applications experiencing specific slow query performance affecting API response times, report generation, or batch job completion.
