Moemen,
You assign a string _position_ result from LOCATE to a SUBSTRNG _length_
argument. Is that what you mean?
Do you have indexes on persons.item_id, emp (item_id, item_type, f2, f6,
f7)? Once there are such indexes, try ordering the WHERE ... ANDs to
correspond to those keys so the optimiser can use the index
If it takes 20 mins, you likely have lots of rows, and the per-row
SUBSTRING(...LOCATE...) calls will likely slow it down. If the above
changes don;t help, you could try breaking out the substrings to
separate columns and index on them too.
Try running EXPLAIN on your query before & after such changes to see if
you're changing the query engine's plan.
