I have 2 MySQL databases on 2 separate cloud servers. One is setup by my colleague and I duplicated that one with same structures.
Days ago I found a query on my database is slow but fast in his database. Then he told me he added 2 indexes for a table and he added the same 2 indexes for my database but it just didn't work and he didn't know why.
The explain result is different after adding the same indexes. And my query is still slow.
(0.36s vs > 3mins)
Could you tell me what's wrong and help me understand the explain result and the differences ?
Query:
select sum(A.money) from
stat_sword.t_pay_history_real as A,
inner join
(select uid, reg_srv_id as srv_id
from sword_common.t_ids
where reg_srv_id < 100000
group by uid having count(uid) > 1) as B
on A.uid = B.uid and A.srv_id = B.srv_id
table strcuture:

The above query takes 0.36s in his db but more than 3 mins in mine..
Why the explain result and order are different and what does it say? I just learnt some basic about index and am not familiar with explain result at all.
Also, I was planning to try a composite index with (rid, uid) if I succeeded speeding up the query by adding the same indexes but I failed. (I read the indexes wrong and this is totally useless.)
Update:
Ok. The MySQL verion is different, mine is Server version: 5.1.73 Source distribution and his is Server version: 5.6.48 MySQL Community Server (GPL).. I would dump the data from my DB and try on his MySQL for now...
