Jeremy, Firstly thank you for the reply.
On the MySql web site there are benchmark response times provided for the execution of queries on NT 4. e.g. reading 2,000,000 rows by index requiring 367 seconds. Are you aware of any comparable test on Linux?

Spend 20 minutes and fill table D with a lot of data and see how it performs. If it's not fast enough, look tweaking MySQL's settings (as described in the manual) for higher performance. With the detail you've given us so far, it's nearly impossible to predict the results. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
