[snip] We have a slight opimization problem here. Given this table:
CREATE TABLE `test` ( `IP` varchar(15) collate latin1_german1_ci NOT NULL default '', `Type` enum('WARN','ERROR','FATAL','UNKNOWN') collate latin1_german1_ci NOT NULL default 'WARN', `epoch` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', KEY `Trap` (`IP`,`Type`,`epoch`), KEY `IP` (`IP`) ) ... containing ten million records; the "IP" column holds only a handful of distinct values. Given this, I would expect a "select distinct ip" to return immediately. Ideas, anybody? [/snip] Because IP is not an INDEX, only a KEY, just a guess... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
