Hi there, I do have a user table with 3 languages. I know that I should have put them into a seperate table. I still could, but would take lots of recoding. I discovered, that as soon as I leave out the OR statements the querry takes under 0.2 s. With the two OR it takes on a 10000 records about 1.4 s.
Is there a way to increase the performance with a different querry? I did already index the fields, but does not look much better though. SELECT DISTINCT L.* from data.languages L, data2.user U where L.id = U.language_1 or L.id = U.language_2 or L.id = U.language_3 order by name Thanx for any help, Andy -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
