Hello everyone, Hoping that I could get some help with a performance problem. Using version 3.5.2
Here are the tables: CREATE TABLE Objects (ObjectId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Name TEXT) CREATE TABLE Keywords4Objects (ObjectId INTEGER, KeywordId INTEGER) CREATE TABLE Keywords (KeywordId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Keyword TEXT NOT NULL COLLATE NOCASE UNIQUE) The Query: SELECT DISTINCT o.ObjectId, o.Name FROM Objects o LEFT OUTER JOIN Keywords4Objects ok ON ok.ObjectId = o.ObjectId LEFT OUTER JOIN Keywords k ON k.KeywordId = ok.KeywordId WHERE k.Keyword LIKE 'abc' OR o.Name LIKE 'abc' Initially, I was just using a join, but objects without keywords were not getting picked up. When I switched to Left Outer Joins. I got the objects that don't have keywords, but the query is unbearably slow. It went from being instantaneous to over a minute. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
