I'm very new to mysql. I wonder how good is mysql, and comparing it to
MS Access. I know mysql is supposed to be way faster than Access,
however, to my surprise, it's not necessary the case.

I have a table with 700K records. I issued these 2 queries:

Access:
select top 300000 * from rawdata
mysql:
select * from rawdata limit 1,300000

It seemed to me that Access return the result set faster than mysql (at
least 1.5 secs difference). What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
