I was under the impression that things end up in a tmp table if the query requires
sorting which is when you have either ORDER BY or GROUP BY or DISTINCT
Is that true of false?

I don't think you can avoid having those temporary tables in executing
any kind of SELECT queries since the retrieved information should be
stored somewhere (whether you have ORDER BY or not). I would suggest
that if you have a large database, you should considering putting the
temporary space on
ut the ORDER BY clause.

I am running into a problem here with a general query that is essential
to the vitality of a website that I run. The problem is that every time
this query is executed, it is being copied to a temporary table on the
hard disk, causing an extreme slowdown. In some instances it takes up
to 5 minute
