Hi Nathan I just found a strange case , can you give me some explaination ? I have a Table with about 800,000 record DB Version : 3. 2. 7 The Sql looks like select x, y, sum(z)/1000 as bw from aa where a=1 and b=1 and c =1 and d= 6 group by x, y having count(*) > 1 order by bw desc limit 10 Column "d" is all set to 6 1/3 of total record is (a=1,b=1,c=1) 1/3 of total record is (a=2,b=2,c=2) 1/3 of total record is (a=3,b=3,c=3) I just test the above Sql under different index (each time, I just create one index and drop another) 1) create index 1 on aa (d) 2) create index 2 on aa (a,b,c,d) Expect : I think Using second index should be much faster than using first index. Actually That two index almost give the same performance. both of them will take about 15 seconds Why? thanks in advice :)

I'm sorry I can't just offer you the correct answer, but have you looked at ? It gives some good hints on how to the choice of indices is made. Good luck, --nate __________________________________________________ 赶快注册雅虎超大容量免费邮箱? http://cn.mail.yahoo.com
