I usually create an index for each criteria being checked against in the SQL statements.
For example, for this query Select * from products where ProductID = 'aeg8557' I'd create an index on ProductID. The same thing applies if you're pulling data from multiple tables. For this query: Select products.ID, products.Title, categories.Title from products, categories where products.ID = '5' AND products.CategoryID = categories.ID I'd make sure that products.ID, products.CategoryID, and categories.ID all have an index. -Ed > -----Original Message----- > i've read/seen information regarding indexes within a table. i'm curious > as > to what i can do to speed up the response time/tbl interactions for the > users.... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
