My join column was indexed in both tables.

I am currently running 4.0.13, however I cant locate the file internals.texi 
(I assume I'll probably need to download the source package to find it...). I 
will look for that, thanks for the tip.

By the way, if you are using 5.0, do you think it's safe enough in Alpha to 
try in a production environment ? I like some of its added features over the 
4.0 series...
