To put it short, this just takes to long
to process. I need to make it faster. Relevant
fragment below. What I want is a sum of all
"new", instantiated (visible) articles in all non
hidden sections, where "new" is defined as
"today, from 00:00:01 to 23:59:59". As you can
see I count in departments "2" and "5", because
other would give false results(the "3" department
shares a lot of articles with the "2" department
and if there is an article in the "3" department
it is always in "2" too). First I need to know
if the article is instantiated, so I JOIN with
x_instance. From the x_instance table I get also
the "state" of the article. Then I need to know the
department plus is the section I am querying visible at
all (some aren't), so I JOIN on x_section. Then
I add all the counts over all the sections and
pretty-print a sum. If you need some diagnostic
information, please tell me what you need (results
of EXPLAIN? SHOW?). IIRC, all the fields I JOIN on
are indexed (BTREE).
