Does the app display all 1000 rows at once? Does your app require all fields? Only retrieve what you need for the page. If the app displays all 1000 rows, it may remain slow depending on how you get them (order, group, function) and indexing.. Also, the link and disk may matter depending on the size of the row. I do not know what you could do on the client side to help.
------Original Message------ From: Carlos Savoretti To: MySQL List Sent: Mar 9, 2005 5:49 PM Subject: Optimizing a big query... Hi all: I programming a GUI which retrieve big tables oftenly. So, I retrieve chunks of 1000 rows and paginate then to browse the entire table. It works fine, but it's rather slow. I would like to know if I could set some option thru mysql_option() to optimize the client side (mysql-client-3.23.58) and what is the the recommended value to clamp the `page' for a gui app. (For 1000 rows it uses about 12 seconds).
