Hi,
I'd really appreciate any help in speeding up this type of query
SELECT BindId,RecordType from BrowseData WHERE DATE_FORMAT(DateLastRevised,'%Y-%m-%d') = '2004-12-07';
On a MYISAM table of 122,000 rows, this query takes very long, in the neighbourhood of 20 minutes.
i'm using mysqld 4.0.20.
I have an index on DateLastRevised
mysql> show indexes from BrowseData;
+------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-----------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
