The data is being laoded from other system. When I load data without indices, it is fast (30 minutes) but creating index is taking 15 hours. Load data with indices is taking 30 hours (worse than the other option) I am wondering if there is a way to speed up the creation of index on a MyISAM table. I am specially looking for any memory parameters in config file or any tweaking at linux level. Appreciate any help TIA ananth -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
