How long does the query take?
How many rows do you have?
- ashray 14y agoAppears that he has 188590 rows. It definitely sounds like a configuration issue. Maybe the mysql table cache might be bogged down or the query cache is full or malfunctioning. Could be a lot of things. Sorting that into a temp table, and caching that in memory would be really fast on a server with reasonable RAM and proper indexes.
- jacques_chester 14y agoInnoDB helps a lot. MyISAM likes to perform joins on disk if a table has a TEXT field ... even if you're not using that field in your query.
