@Anthony - Good catch. I forgot about that. But with the LIMIT of 50 it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Maybe the generated SQL is not what we think it is? I guess you could also try replacing this with a find_by_sql statement and see if it performs any better.
@records = Record.find_by_sql(SELECT * FROM records WHERE active=1 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 50") Raul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Richardson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <rubyonrails-deployment@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 3:32 PM Subject: [Rails-deploy] Re: A lot of records running slow on Dreamhost - any suggestions > > On 2/21/08, Lee Munroe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> @records = Record.find_all_by_active(true, :order => 'rand()', >> :limit => 50) > > you might want to double check, but I recall something about the > rand() function of mySQL being a slow pig.
