It'll be a few hours before I get home and can do  this query with the 
variations you mentioned.  I don't know if I  need the separate index key on 
`salesrank` or not.  I thought it  would speed up my query be having it.
  
  In the previous email I included the results from doing an EXPLAIN.  It shows:
  table        type         possible_keys         key        key_len         
ref        rows        Extra
    pn_pricecompare_catprod      ref      PRIMARY,asin      PRIMARY     4       
const     369308       Using where; Using index; Using temporary; Using f...
    pn_pricecompare_product      eq_ref      asin      asin     10       
pn_pricecompare_catprod.asin     1
  
  The formatting is funky from my cut and paste, but it looks like 369,308 rows 
for this particular query.
  
  I think the product table has about 650,000 rows, and the category table has 
about 8,150,000 rows.
  
  Thanks,
  Grant

original query with just the
LIMIT clause, and then just the ORDER BY (but not both).

The results of "select count(*)" query would be helpful to know just
how many records mysql is trying to sort and limit.

And do you really need a separte index key on `salesrank` on the
product table?
