> Um.. Are you serious? thats all you do, create indexes? Ok, I'm assuming familiarity with efficient schema design since joins are being used. I'm excluding factors like system hardware, system load, OS, MySQL performance tuning, etc..
And by efficient schema design, I'm referring to proper separation of data into tables that minimize storage requirements, minimize data redundancy, and promote general flexibility. For example, using separate tables for employees and states and putting a StateID in the employee table, rather than storing the entire state name in each employee record, and making sure that StateID uses a small integer since you can assume that you're working with a set number of states. Like I mention tho, this is probably considered basic stuff. -Ed -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
