Hello all, I wanted to know why a select query takes ,say, 18 sec to execute the first time I execute it and then for every successive execution it takes, say, 10 sec.
I have disabled Query Caching on the server. If its not Query Caching then what else is causing this variation in exec time? 1) Also i would like to know something about table caching (what exactly gets cached here?) and its advantages 2) What is an optimal join order. Should it be a smaller result joined with a bigger one or vice-versa, Or how does MySQL do it? Thanks, Ratheesh Bhat K J
