Hi pradeep, What are you trying to say ?. The query clearly denotes that Index is not been used anywhere. So i strongly suggest to use the index explicitly for better performance. >>Forcing that can only increase the volume of data that is fetched. ?.... I cant understand how it increases the volume of data that is fetched. Can u please explain on this ??????. In this case, index is no where present in the select query, so naturally we have to force the query to use the index. Thanks & Regards, Dilipkumar

Hi Dilip, I dont think forcing MySQL to use Index can improve your performance. MySQL decides on the index to be used based on the cardinality. Since the cardinality is low MySQL has chosen a Index that can give the best performance. Forcing that can only increase the volume of data that is fetched. Regards, Pradeep chandru.

Hi Johan, the query is going for a temporary table creation "Using temporary; Using filesort" In case your sort_buffer_size is too low please try increasing the same. Be cautious don't try to increase it massively, since it is a per thread memory allocation. please let me know what is your sort_buffer_size by using the command show global variables like 'sort%'; Regards, Pradeep Chandru.
