So you guys (Jan and "hsv") suggest, that switching from DATE to "more numeric" data type may not be necessary, but using ENUM instead of VARCHAR can be real performance gain, right? But are you able to estimate, what "boost" can i notice? 5% - or 50%, or maybe even 500%? -- Zbig -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
