I'm fairly sure that the longblob column will prevent MySQL from being able to use 'in memory temp tables' regardless of whether it is included in the SELECT. In an ideal world I would move that longblob to a separate table.
How big are the tables fdata,ftype,fgroup? Can you post the results of EXPLAIN EXTENDED for the query you posted? Can you also post the output of 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' for the tables fdata,ftype,fgroup?
