large multiple table update taking a very long time, help!

Hi: I am running a multiple table update in two scenarios. Scenario one only takes 1.5 hours while scenario two is taking what seems like forever.

I need to do selects based on class_id, and i need to do a complete table scan (i.e. i need to work with all records). By doing the update instead of joins i was able to double my performance, but since scenario two is not working I am currently stuck and I am on a tight deadline.

If you know of another query to accomplish the same concept, or what is wrong with this one, please share. I am not a mysql expert.

The servers I have available are quad core cpus with 16GB ram.

Each table is very large at 70,143,307 records. Tables are created with following options: ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci




scenario one:

mysql> desc table1;
+----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| field1 | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| field2 | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field3 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field4 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field5 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field6 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field7 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field8 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field9 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field10 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field11 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field12 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field13 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field14 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field15 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field16 | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| field17 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| field18 | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| class_id | int(10) unsigned | YES | MUL | NULL | |
+----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

mysql> desc table2;
+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| FK_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | | NULL | |
| class_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

UPDATE IGNORE `table1`, `table2` SET `table1`.`class_id` = `table2`.`class_id` WHERE `table1`.`id` = `table2`.`FK_id`;




scenario two:

mysql> desc table3;
+------------------+---------------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------------+---------------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| field1 | smallint(6) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| field2 | varchar(10) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| field3 | bigint(20) unsigned | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| field4 | tinytext | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| field5 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field6 | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | |
| field7 | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | |
| field8 | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | |
| field9 | varchar(2) | YES | | NULL | |
| field10 | tinytext | YES | | NULL | |
| field11 | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | |
| field12 | varchar(2) | YES | | NULL | |
| field13 | varchar(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| field14 | tinytext | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| field15 | varchar(2) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| field16 | bigint(10) | YES | | NULL | |
| field17 | bigint(10) | YES | | NULL | |
| field18 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field19 | float | YES | | NULL | |
| field20 | float | YES | | NULL | |
| field21 | tinytext | YES | | NULL | |
| field22 | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| field23 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field24 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field25 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field26 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field27 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field28 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field29 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field30 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field31 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field32 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field33 | text | YES | | NULL | |
| field34 | tinyint(1) | YES | | 0 | |
| field35 | timestamp | YES | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | |
| id | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| class_id | int(10) unsigned | YES | MUL | NULL | |
+------------------+---------------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+

mysql> desc table4;
+----------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| FK_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | | NULL | |
| class_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
+----------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

UPDATE IGNORE `table3`, `table4` SET `table3`.`class_id` = `table4`.`class_id` WHERE `table3`.`id` = `table4`.`FK_id`;

In this scenario the query runs for about 20 hours before it even starts to update reference tables.




Some server variables:

[mysqld]
skip-locking
max_connections = 1000
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
key_buffer_size = 4096M
max_allowed_packet = 4096M
group_concat_max_len = 2048M
table_cache = 2048
sort_buffer_size = 4096M
read_buffer_size = 4096M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 4096M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 2048M
thread_cache_size = 16
query_cache_size = 2048M
thread_concurrency = 16
bulk_insert_buffer_size = 2048M
log-bin = mysql-bin
server-id = 1
skip-bdb
