Subject: Query Problems


I am doing a very simple query joining two copies of tables with identical 
structures but different data. We are running MySQL 4.1.1.

The tables each have about 24,000 lines of data in them. For some reason 
this query, which is a simple join between the two tables is taking 8 
minutes to run.

The query looks something like this:

Select  *
FROM            Table1 as a
                INNER JOIN Table2 as b ON (a.ID = b.ID or (a.Field1 =
b.Field1 and 
a.Field2 = b.Field2))
WHERE   bla bla bla

We have tried to set up indexes and the query still takes 8 minutes to run. 
It only returns 6,000 records.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem and what we can do to 
fix it?

Thanks.
