Re: Join Query Performance Problme

Each table has exactly one row per stock per day, correct? For example, 100 stocks for a week would 500 rows, correct?

"loadedTime" is really the date of the data, correct? Then, I find the name of the column confusing. It sounds more like it is "the time of day when the information arrived" and it might be days after the day it is referring to.

If I have interpreted your information correctly, the PRIMARY KEY should be a compound index, either of these
PRIMARY KEY (stocksymbol, loadedTime)
PRIMARY KEY (loadedTime, stocksymbol)

Since you are using InnoDB, the order of the data is stored is determined by the PRIMARY KEY. This note is important for huge tables. Are you more likely to "find all info about one stock" or "find all info for one day"? Use the corresponding PRIMARY KEY to achieve efficiency of one or the other of those.

A PRIMARY KEY is a UNIQUE KEY is an INDEX. INDEXes are vital to JOIN performance. Since you want to say "this row in this table corresponds (via stock and date) to that row in that table", say it this way:

... foo f
JOIN bar s ON s.stocksymbol = f.stocksymbol
AND s.loadedTime = loadedTime

So, start with

SELECT ... -- whatever values you need
FROM stockssymbols s
JOIN fastocksdata f
ON s.stocksymbol = f.stocksymbol AND f.loadedTime = s.loadedTime
JOIN pricerelated p
ON s.stocksymbol = p.stocksymbol AND p.loadedTimeTA = s.loadedTimeA
JOIN indicators i
ON s.stocksymbol = i.stocksymbol AND i.loadedTimeTA = s.loadedTimeA
WHERE ... -- additional criteria
GROUP BY ... -- if needed
ORDER BY ... -- if needed
LIMIT --- if needed

If I understand your data correctly, then change your PKs to be
PRIMARY KEY (stocksymbol, loadedTime)
and reformulate your SELECTs to be like what I gave you above.

(There does not appear to be a need for the AUTO_INCREMENT you have in some tables.)
