Your problem is that MySQL don't use indeces in selects with 'or' (See MySQL manual). But i didn't have understand what's your problem executing individual selects... You don't need to open parallel connections. Put the UPDATE commands in a file, and execute them in mysql prompt like this:
mysql> source fileName; (for help, type 'help' in mysql prompt) Is this your problem? ;) Alexis Quoting Marc Slemko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > If I do a query such as: > > SELECT * from foo where fooid = 10 or fooid = 20 or fooid = 03 ... > > with a total of around 1900 "or fooid =" parts on a given table with 500k > rows, it takes about four times longer than doing 1900 separate > queries in the form: > > SELECT * from foo where fooid = 10 > > fooid is the primary key. > > My real goal is to do updates in a similar way, they have the same issue. > And my real goal is actually doing the same thing where instead of > "fooid=10" I have a multicolumn primary key and use "(keycol1=10 and > keycol2=2 > and ...)"
