A table (Table1) with the relevant indices (e.g. Field1Idx, Field2Idx) exists. Running a query like: Select * from table1 where Field1Idx Like 'Value%' returns result in expected timing scale, so does the query: Select * from table1 where Field2Idx Like 'Value%'
The problem (very slow) occurs when the query is run on combination of these fields: Select * from table1 where (Field1Idx Like 'Value%' or Field2Idx Like 'Value%') We have followed everything by the book, the table includes another index on (Field1, Field2), running Explain command on the last query details that it uses the index (Field1, Field2), it's just too slow (minutes we are talking about). Anything we have not done for this delay to occur? please enlighten. regards ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
