Hello, I am using HIGH_PRIORITY in my SELECTs to force queries to take predcedence over updating due to replication. I have recently implemented UNION in some of my queries to optimize queries like "WHERE table1.column1=something OR table1.column2=somethingelse".
Anyway, I first tried formatting my UNION query like "(SELECT HIGH_PRIORITY ...) UNION (SELECT HIGH_PRIORITY ...)" but the server complained about the placement of HIGH_PRIORITY. I was finally able to get it to accept the query by only specifiying HIGH_PRIORITY in the first part of the UNION, like "(SELECT HIGH_PRIORITY ...) UNION (SELECT ...)", but it appears that my searches are not taking precedence as they should, and as non-UNION queries do. Could there be another explanation for why they are not taking precedence, or is there another way to specify HIGH_PRIORITY in UNION queries to make both sub-queries high-priority? Thanks a lot!
