I have a table with a huge amount of records. There are aprox 3*10^6
registers and counting.

I need via scheduler delete the older registers, but the criteria of old
register is determined by a datetime field:

db.define_table('foo',
    Field('foo_file',  'upload', required=True, notnull=True,
autodelete=True, uploadseparate=True),
    Field('foo_date', 'datetime', notnull=True))

Unfortunately there is no relation between id and date (the user/system
could put data older than the current date).

The system has a controller which shows the lasts 10 registers with the
indicated criteria. But the query takes too much time, more than 7
seconds just the query. I have also a periodically task archiving the
older registers.

rows = db().select( orderby=~db.foo.foo_date, limitby=(0, 10))

I need a way in the DAL for indicating the foo_time datefile field
should be indexed or similar in order to get fastest queries! :/ I am
using mysql.

Thanks in advance.
