> Why do you need to build your index in descending order?
I am the dba for a track and field results web site, when people look for
results they are most likely going to want results from a more recent meet
(rather than older meets).
there is a table result and a table meet where a column in result is
"meet_hnd." (there maybe hundreds of results per meet) so I have indexed
the result table on meet_hnd. This sped things up dramatically. Now, the
I see it, though we are indexed on meet_hnd, when searching for results
mysql is starting at the first meet_hnd though we are most likely wanting
to retrieve the last meet_hnd. If this were indexed in reverse order than
the first meet_hnd would most likely be the one we are looking for.
