MySQL Database Guru

posted on 24/10/2006

Hi,

I need a freelancer with a good understanding of MySQL (4.x) and database design. In brief I currently have a database table holding 19 Million records. What I want to do is query those records as part of a new feature for my website.

I have spent a lot of time trying to query these records in sub second timing by adding appropriate indexes and optimizing the format of the table fields. This has met with little success.

I have developed a new structure for the application by splitting the existing table into several hundred smaller tables, which can obviously be queried much more efficiently. I have used MyISAM merge tables where appropriate for queries across a group of connected tables.

What I need is either:

1. Someone to take the time to setup this new database structure and work with me to devise a clear way to update this with the existing tables’ data and further develop a method of keeping the new database updated on a daily basis. In this regard some knowledge of PHP would be helpful, but not essential.

2. Someone to present me with an alternative method that will achieve my goals

I am happy to provide more information to any interested applicants.

Please include examples of any previous relevant work and qualifications, hourly rates (or a set quote). Only UK applicants should apply.

Thanks
Mike
