I have a table with cca 100,000 records. I need to hard-sort the
records
by a key from second table. By hard-sorting I mean storing position of
each row in the main table. Here is what my tables look like:
main_table: id, name, position
key_table: id, main_table_id, key, value
Here is how I need to sort the records:
SELECT * FROM main_table
INNER JOIN key_table ON main_table.id = key_table.main_table_id
WHERE key = 'param'
ORDER BY value
I don't know about faster or more efficient, but here's an
alternative that I haven't seen yet:
