Hi MySQL Fans ;-);

Does anybody understand what the QUICK option is doing when used with the
DELETE command ? It says in the manual "..no MERGEing of INDEX leaves during
delete".

Sorry, but I could not make any sense out of this. Could somebody please be so
kind to enlighten me ?

I guess it is related somehow to optimizing the index or space of a table.

It may make the query quicker because the server doesn't do as much messing around fixing up the leaves of the index tree.
