Sep 11, 2017 at 18:30 comment added Evan Carroll @Harshil I showed you explicit that this is the problem. In the profile query 2 & 4 use substr. As you can see, 4 is slower than 3.
Sep 10, 2017 at 16:21 comment added Harshil I found this problem in an contest on a website where to get actual runtime of query they are creating new table every time the query is executed by any user so that they can assign rank to users according to result and runtime of query. So i don't think that reason behind the lower runtime of query with substr() is caching of table.
