All, I have the following query which is running quite slow on our server and was hoping someone would have suggestions how I might improve it.
est3=>EXPLAIN SELECT clone.uniquename,clone.name,library.type,clone.clone_id est3-> FROM library,clone_aceg est3-> JOIN clone USING (clone_id) est3-> WHERE clone_aceg.aceg_id = 8 AND est3-> clone.project=library.project;
