The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MySQL View performance

Asked by Matthew_Way in MySQL Server

I'm writing a PHP / MySQL application.
PHP 5.2 / MySQL 5.1
It's rather large and there are 34 MySQL tables.
I found that I had the same SQL statements with table joins being repeated in different parts of the application.
So I'm using views, which is good from a number of programing perspectives.
But my concern is performance it's not an issue at the moment because the database is relatively empty.
For example the attached view I run the following query.
SELECT *
FROM view_contact_assignedcontract
WHERE contactId=123

Which works fine with a test db of 100 records.
Does the SQL server need first create a temporary result set of all Contact records before it pulls out record #123 ?
Am I going to have performance issues as the database grows ?Start Free Trial
