Hi, I was hoping that using SQL_NO_CACHE would help me bypass the query

query cache?
Thanks.

Hi
SQL_NO_CACHE means that the query result is not cached. It does not mean
that the cache is not used to answer the query.
You may use RESET QUERY CACHE to remove all queries from the cache and
then your next query should be slow again. Same effect if you change
the table, because this makes all cached queries invalid. But why do you
want to do this?
