The following rewritten query may be satisfiable for the generic case of
using arbitrary LIKE pattern for refs.ref_key and performing in a short
acceptable time as well:
SELECT ac.*
FROM application_controls_view AS ac
INNER JOIN (
SELECT ref_id
FROM refs
WHERE ref_key LIKE '%XYZ%'
) AS r
ON ac.custom_controller_ref_id = r.ref_id;
The hint is to build a subquery, from refs table, and to move in the
WHERE clause that only refers to refs column (ref_key here). This
subquery results in a shorter table than the original (refs here),
thence reducing the number of joins to perform with ac (no matter
working with view or original table).
