2 things come to mind here... 1) indexes could not be set, so it may cause huge slowdowns on bigger tables 2) it could have been fast because of query caching, so it may have cached the "index" you were updating for, which may make it work fast. Also, if you run it manually, the first time may be slow, and subsequent attempts are faster (again, caching) I may be wrong here, but something to check out. Try this: Explain SELECT * FROM `account` WHERE accountid='2583092'; That will tell you what indexes it is using, if any Steve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
