One more suggestion is, using LIKE to search (whatever your column is
indexed or not) is definitely slow than using "=". I try it in 0.38 M
records before.

Hi Hannes

Several approaches to achieve your work. One is upgrade your resource
i.e.
CPU, memory... I do not take this. Another is check all columns used
inside
WHERE clause whether they are indexed. If not, pls create indexes for
them.
it will definitely smooth better.

Programmatically, I suggest you try to divide your query into several
small
queries. According to your query below, you are likely to join about 10
tables. As data grows, join those tables will produce undetermined large
set
of data.

Hi List, I'm new to the list
and I have a BrainTeaser for all of you.


I have yet lots to learn about sql and mySQL so any suggestions are very
welcome!

Thanx in advance

That did not look too bad to me, but still the query takes so long to
execute, the client-browser times out.
So far I'm not even sure I'll get results, apart from the fact that I
don't get a Syntax Error...

Table Sizes:
table       Records

Expected Result-Sets:
Anything from 2 to 1000

suggestions?
