Hello,

I'm trying to optimize a table but not sure what more I can do. I have a
table like the following:

CREATE TABLE `outgoing` (
  `rpath` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `auth` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '',
  `ip` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `hfrom` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `hto` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `subject` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `messageid` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `timestamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
  `rcpts` smallint(5) unsigned default '0',
  KEY `at_ind` (`auth`,`timestamp`,`rcpts`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

CREATE TABLE `exempt_users` (
  `auth` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '',
  `comment` varchar(80) default NULL,
  `timestamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`auth`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

Now on these tables I am doing the following query:

select count(outgoing.auth),sum(outgoing.rcpts) from outgoing 
        left join exempt_users on outgoing.auth=exempt_users.auth where
        exempt_users.auth is null and outgoing.auth = 'USER'
        and timestamp >= (now() - interval 1 day)

USER will be varying. I thought the indexes I have would be enough but I'm
noticing from 'show status':

| Select_full_join         | 606616    |

And it is rising. This is the only query I am doing on the database. The MySQL
docs say this should be 0. Is there something wrong my design or is there
anything I can do to improve the speed?

Thanks,

Viraj.
