Group, I have the following query:
select phones.*, ops.plid, ops.box, ops.mac from phones, ops where (ops.box = 'Mcds') or (ops.box = 'Mn3300') and (phones.suffix1 = ops.phone) order by ops.mac When I change the order by to a field in the phones table - sorts just fine and produces results but in this case I am sorting by one of the fields in the other table (ops). massive bunch of disk activity and mysqladmin shows that the process is writing stuff to disk then sorting then producing the results. Am I doing this query incorrectly? BTW - I am Win32 mysql version. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
