I have a table with 22,371,273 rows, current type is MyISAM. I have one query tha took nearly 5 hours to complete. I do not know if this like it should be or not, but I thought I'd ask the list. My gut feeling is the `gropu by` that's slowing it down but nonetheless 5 hours seems excessive. I'm trying to find the source of the limitation and work from there.
Mysql: 4.0.18-standard, precompiled 32-bit sparc 2.8 Server: Sun 420 Solaris 2.8 4x450MHZ Ultrasparc-II 4GB Ram Two 50gb mounts, fiber channel scsi to EMC. Brand new systems, totally idle. I think everything relevant is here. The skinny: full table scan on 22 million rows, group and insert into new table. MyISAM and InnoDB appear to give similar results when used as the destination ('new_table'). insert into new_table select month_day, floor(bucket/3) as bucket, date, src, avg(value) as value from source_table group by month_day, bucket, src; Relevant `explain` details: Full table scan: 22,371,273 rows, Using temporary; Using filesort Query OK, 11495208 rows affected (4 hours 47 min 21.01 sec) Records: 11495208 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
