There's a chance that you could gain from quoting the '4' and '6' if
those orders.id_status isn't a pure int column and is indexed.

At the end I need only in the query the id_status =4 and 6, but if I
write
in the sql query (where condition) where id_status in (4,6), the
explain
says the same(the slow version).
For example:
SELECT count(o.id) FROM orders o
INNER JOIN report r ON
o.id=r.id_order
INNER JOIN status s ON
o.id_status=s.id
INNER JOIN contact c ON o.id_ag=c.id
INNER JOIN endkunde e ON
o.id_endkunde=e.id
INNER JOIN zufriden z ON
r.id_zufriden=z.id
INNER JOIN plannung v ON
v.id=o.id_plannung
INNER JOIN mpsworker w ON
v.id_worker=w.id
INNER JOIN person p ON p.id =
w.id_person
WHERE o.id_status in (4,6);
The result for this query is also without index searches.
I really have to make this query a little more faster. Suggestions?
Regards,
Andy.

Hi to all! I have the following query. The execution time is very
big,

doesn't use the indexes and I don't understand why...
Indexes are not necessarily the best way to do a large join.
If I use the following query the indexes are used:
The key reason this wins seems to be that the id_status = 4 condition
is far more selective than id_status > 3 (the estimates are 52 and
36967
rows respectively ... is that accurate?) which means that the second
query is inherently about 1/700th as much work. This, and not the use
of indexes, is the fundamental reason why it's faster.
