Comma separated JOINS strikes again!!!
As of 5.0.12, the comma you are using as a JOIN operator has been properly
demoted in priority so that MySQL now more closely adheres to the SQL:2003
standard. This move from a non-standard implementation to a more standard
implementation has caught more than one person. Your previous execution
performance should return if you change your query to use an explicit JOIN
statement and quit using those (#&[EMAIL PROTECTED]( commas. (I don't know if
you can
tell, but those commas are my pet peeve this decade)
Try it this way and let us know how it works.
SELECT *
FROM dlstm_data_d s
INNER JOIN stm_data_d t
ON s.sys_cdd=t.sys_cdd
AND s.local=t.local
WHERE s.sym_cd_ is null
AND t.sym_cd is not null;
Here is where you will find this change documented in the manual:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrading-from-4-1.html
and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-12.html
with more explicit details here:
