Hi, i and i think all people will think the same : i can't help. why ? have you described your tables ? have your given the size of each table ? have you list the indexes ? have you specify the storage type ? and have you given the query ?
if you're looking for just a theoritical response, docs.mysql.com can give it. and sorry, this is not an ofense .
