Eliminating Cross-Connecting in SQL

Question

I am trying to optimize a query containing cross connect. I have a big query that I am going to cross-connect to a view.

Would improve query speed by turning a view into a view? Or even capture this information in a permanent table?

Here is my request

SELECT  VIEWER_ID, 
        QUESTION_ID, 
        ANSWER_ID, 
        sum(ANSWER_SCORE) AS ANSWER_SCORE_SUMMED
FROM(SELECT  cr.COMMUNICATIONS_ID AS ANSWER_ID, 
        cr.CONSUMER_ID as VIEWER_ID,
        nc.PARENT_COMMUNICATIONS_ID AS QUESTION_ID,
        case when  cr.CONSUMER_ID= nc.SENDER_CONSUMER_ID then 3*((24/(((UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())-UNIX_TIMESTAMP(cal.LAST_MOD_TIME)+3600)/3600))*(ces.EXPERT_SCORE * cirm.CONSUMER_RATING) + (12.5 * scs.SIMILARITY)* (1 - EXP(-0.5 * (cal.TIPS_AMOUNT / ATV.AVG_TIPS)) + .15)))
            else ((24/(((UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())-UNIX_TIMESTAMP(cal.LAST_MOD_TIME)+3600)/3600))*(ces.EXPERT_SCORE * cirm.CONSUMER_RATING) + (12.5 * scs.SIMILARITY)* (1 - EXP(-0.5 * (cal.TIPS_AMOUNT / ATV.AVG_TIPS)) + .15)))
        end as ANSWER_SCORE
FROM (SELECT 234 AS CONSUMER_ID, 
             ACTION_LOG_ID, 
            COMMUNICATIONS_ID 
     FROM consumer_action_log 
     WHERE COMM_TYPE_ID=4) AS cr
JOIN network_communications AS nc 
    ON cr.COMMUNICATIONS_ID=nc.COMMUNICATIONS_ID
JOIN consumer_action_log AS cal 
    ON cr.ACTION_LOG_ID=cal.ACTION_LOG_ID
JOIN communication_interest_mapping AS cim 
    ON nc.PARENT_COMMUNICATIONS_ID=cim.COMMUNICATION_ID
JOIN consumer_interest_rating_mapping AS cirm 
    ON cr.CONSUMER_ID=cirm.CONSUMER_ID
    AND cim.CONSUMER_INTEREST_EXPERT_ID=cirm.CONSUMER_INTEREST_ID
JOIN consumer_expert_score AS ces 
    ON nc.SENDER_CONSUMER_ID=ces.CONSUMER_ID
    AND cim.CONSUMER_INTEREST_EXPERT_ID=ces.CONSUMER_EXPERT_ID
JOIN survey_customer_similarity AS scs 
    ON cr.CONSUMER_ID=scs.CONSUMER_ID_2 
    AND cal.SENDER_CONSUMER_ID=scs.CONSUMER_ID_1 
    OR cr.CONSUMER_ID=scs.CONSUMER_ID_1 
    AND cal.SENDER_CONSUMER_ID=scs.CONSUMER_ID_2
CROSS JOIN
    (
        SELECT AVG(cal.TIPS_AMOUNT) AS AVG_TIPS
        FROM CONSUMER_ACTION_LOG AS cal
        JOIN (SELECT 234 AS CONSUMER_ID, 
                     ACTION_LOG_ID, 
                     COMMUNICATIONS_ID 
              FROM consumer_action_log 
              WHERE COMM_TYPE_ID=4) AS cr 
        ON cal.SENDER_CONSUMER_ID=cr.consumer_id
    ) ATV) AS ASM
GROUP BY ANSWER_ID
ORDER BY ANSWER_SCORE_SUMMED DESC;

This is a long request, so there is no need to read it all. The bottom line is that there is a cross join. I'm new to sql, but I was told that cross-connections slow down.

Answer 1

So your cross join is not a deal, because the second inline query returns only one row.
