I have a table, t1, with about 12 million rows The column foo is unique and indexed The column bar is not unique and is indexed "select * from t1 where length(bar) = 0;" runs about 2 minutes "select * from t1 where length(bar) = 0 order by foo ;" ran until I stopped it after about 20 minutes My simple solution is "select * into t2 from t1 where length(bar) = 0;" and "select * from t2 order by foo ;" Is there a way to make "select * from t1 where length(bar) = 0 order by foo ;" or something similar work
