Hi, I've got a view of a base table that is 100% identical to that base table except for one column, which is a projection of the base table after its MD5 hashed. The table is largish (~700,000 rows) and is growing quickly. Queries on the base table are nice and fast, but on the hashed view are painfully slow - in particular when restricting the queries on the view based on the hashed colum.
I assume this is because there is no index for the hashed colum. Is there a good way I can deal with this, without changing the base table? TIA, running MySQL 5 on windows, can change to a later build of MySQL (as long as I can replicate from 5) if there is some funky stuff in there that will do what I need... Chris -- Christopher A.
