Muhammad:
ODBC is slow in MySQL. Make sure you're using a current MyODBC driver. If that
doesn't help, don't know what to tell you. Many people use straight network
queries which avoid this overhead. Keep in mind, ODBC was a standard M$ put in
place because their desktop OS is ubiquitous. Oracle wouldn't need an ODBC
layer if M$ didn't have a monopoly on the desktop. There would be better db
communications interfaces, instead.
Indexing fields you query often is a given. But, you know this, I'm sure...
