I'm reading 1,000 records at a time from a large table (overcoming the FT indexing problem I wrote about yesterday) and I'm discovering that as the starting record number grows larger, the retrieve speed is dropping rapidly. Any suggestions for how to speed this up? It's a strategy I use fairly often, mainly to keep from using excess memory when retrieving and/or killing the connection when inserting records. In the current case, I'm doing a simple select, no ordering, grouping, etc. This is on MySQL 4.012-nt. Somewhere in the vicinity of 700,000, retrieval speed dropped tremendously. I'm guessing that that's where index caching was no longer sufficient...?
I've optimized, analyzed and defragmented the disk, all of which seemed to help a bit. Nick -- Nick Arnett Phone/fax: (408) 904-7198 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
