Dear all,
I have a query that takes a rather long time and was wondering if there is anyway to optimize it. Normally we removing duplicate records by phone number. This query takes about a second and it really slows down the process when we are importing several 1000 records a day. Here is the query: SELECT count(id) c FROM leads WHERE (phone_home = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_work = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_other = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_mobile = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_fax = '(770) 512-8990') AND date_entered >DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 45 DAY) AND deleted != '1'; This is the describe: DESCRIBE SELECT count( id ) c FROM leads WHERE ( phone_home = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_work = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_other = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_mobile = '(770) 512-8990' OR phone_fax = '(770) 512-8990') AND date_entered > DATE_SUB( NOW( ) , INTERVAL 45 DAY ) AND deleted != '1' id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra 1 SIMPLE leads ALL idx_del_user,phone_home,phone_mobile,phone_work,phone_other,phone_fax,date_entered NULL NULL NULL 636433 Using where Any thoughts?
