I need help with the following query. I'm not sure where it comes from in ExpressionEngine. Any insight or pointers would be helpful.
SELECT DISTINCT `L0`.`field_id` as L0_field, `L0`.`grid_field_id` as L0_grid_field_id, `L0`.`grid_col_id` as L0_grid_col_id, `L0`.`grid_row_id` as L0_grid_row_id, `L0`.`child_id` AS L0_parent, `L0`.`parent_id` as L0_id
FROM (`exp_relationships` as L0)
LEFT JOIN `exp_relationships` as L1 ON `L0`.`parent_id` = `L1`.`parent_id` OR L1.child_id = NULL
WHERE `L0`.`grid_field_id` = 0
AND `L0`.`grid_field_id` = 0
AND `L0`.`child_id` IN (6)
ORDER BY `L0`.`order` asc\G
Specifically 'L1.child_id = NULL'
If we drop the noted constraint (which is non-functional anyways), the query completes in no time at all and uses indexing properly. With the invalid constraint, the query takes 0.33 seconds on an idle database server, and much much longer on a busy db.
