The logic is correct, but I'm not sure that we'll _have_ to remove these few foreign keys: it's possible that their presence doesn't affect performance too much. These indexes on foreign keys are created even with MyISAM backend - and they seems to be "filled with the data", but the performances are acceptable. I'll do some tests with InnoDB, thanks for the hint! -- Davide Alberani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/ _______________________________________________ Imdbpy-devel mailing list Imdbpy-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/imdbpy-devel
