Optimization question and possible bug

2001-09-07 Thread Stefan Pinkert
Hi, i'm using MySQL 3.23.37 on a Linux system with an average of about 20 queries/second. First of all i have a little question how i can optimize a query. The query is like that: select * from tbl where key_field1 & constant1 and key_field2 & constant2 Examine that query with explain select.
