I have a database in Firebird(Interbase) that has 106 million records
at 37.4 gig.

I imported the database into mySQL and built the same indexes.

with a query like this:

select * from experian.experian where latitude >= '038631928' and
latitude <= '038638092' and longitude >= '096671646' and longitude <=
'096680757';

Interbase takes 10 seconds to return 70 records, but mySQL takes 18 seconds 
to return the same record count.

Is there any way to speed up mySQL?

my Index is:

ALTER TABLE EXPERIAN.EXPERIAN ADD INDEX latlong (latitude,longitude);

Both fields are 9 chars long.

"explain" says it is using the latlong index with a key length of 20.

Is this the best mySQL will do? Is there a better sql statement I can use?
