Hi!

Can you send the output of the following command?

show index from ip2org;

It seems you don't have an index on both fields (even though it says you have multi-field index)...

MUL doesn't mean part of a multi-field index. From the manual <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/DESCRIBE.html>: "The MUL value indicates that multiple occurences of a given value allowed within the field."

Hi - I need some help :)

I set up a simple mysql table:

mysql> describe ip2org;
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field    | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| ip_start | bigint(20)  |      | MUL | 0       |       |
| ip_end   | bigint(20)  |      | MUL | 0       |       |
| org      | varchar(80) |      |     |         |       |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

It's got just over 2 million  rows, and is populated with integers.

I do this:
SELECT org from ip2org where ip_start<=1094799892 and ip_end>=1094799892;


and it take 12 seconds...!

all my indexes seem to be there:
mysql> explain SELECT org from ip2org where ip_start<=1094799892 and
ip_end>=1094799892;

| table  | type | possible_keys   | key  | key_len | ref  | rows    | Extra
| ip2org | ALL  | ip_start,ip_end | NULL |    NULL | NULL | 2943079 |where
used |

is this normal? the fields are simple numbers, so it should be lightning fast, no? I realize it's a big table, but it's just numbers.
this should come back instantly, no?
thanks!
