Boy, you guys are die-hard MySQL fans :-) I think your strong defending convinced us MySQL can handle 120 million records. But I know some ordinary users out there like me who are not experts on tuning the MySQL performance (they did send me private emails saying they encountered the similar slow join problem). So please help us to keep the faith.
We are trying to develop a simple biology database to maintain some DNA Sequence information. My problem is coming from the following two tables: CREATE TABLE NewSequence ( Seq_ID varchar(50) NOT NULL, GenBank_Acc varchar(10), Organism varchar(50) NOT NULL, Seq_Type enum("EST","GSS","EST Contig","EST Singlet","GSS Contig","GSS Singlet","GSS Plasmid Contig","Protein") NOT NULL, Seq_Length int NOT NULL, Seq_Title text NOT NULL, Comment text, Entry_Date date NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (Seq_ID), UNIQUE (GenBank_Acc), INDEX (Seq_Type), INDEX (Organism) ); CREATE TABLE NewSequence_Homolog ( Seq_ID varchar(50) NOT NULL, Homolog_PID int NOT NULL, Homolog_Desc varchar(50) NOT NULL, Homolog_Species varchar(50), PRIMARY KEY (Seq_ID, Homolog_PID) ); --- "Michael T.
