Hi All, I'm doing some tests with SQLite ( 2.8.14 ) against MySQL ( 4.1.3 beta ) with these 2 tables:
date_ext ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, mydate DATE not null ) city_ext ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, city CHAR( 2 ) ) number_ext ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, mydate INTEGER not null, city INTEGER(2) not null, position INTEGER(1) not null, mynum INTEGER(2) not null ) ... and this is the query: SELECT date_ext.mydate as MyDate, city_ext.city as MyCity, number_ext.mynum as MyNumber FROM city_ext, number_ext, date_ext WHERE number_ext.mydate = date_ext.id AND number_ext.city = city_ext.id AND date_ext.mydate = ( SELECT MAX( date_ext.mydate ) FROM date_ext ) ORDER BY city_ext.city, number_ext.position This query is done in MySQL in 0.31416 seconds In SQLite is done in 1.408461 seconds ( with the same result of MySQL query ) Does anyone know why there's too much difference from this simple query in the same type of tables ??? DATE is a column with 'YYYY-MM-DD' info, date_ext contains 3406 records, city_ext contains 10 records, number_ext contains 170300 records. Platform is Windows 2000 with Apache 1.3.31 and PHP5.0.1 as CGI with dedicated port :81 Thank you. andr3a
