Similar situation here (>100 Million rows). things I found that help: - be selective on what rows to index. Try to limit yourself to one row. - increase the key buffer size. (watch memory / swap usage as you do this). - maybe you need more RAM (but see my other post about a question I had about large RAM machines and mysql crashing ;-) ) And more difficult, try to look at your application design and try to come up with 'cache tables' that are generated by a cron job periodically and are used for most queries. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Collaborative Intrusion Detection join http://www.dshield.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
