Hi all, I have this query: select CATALOGUES.idcatalogue, CATALOGUES.type, PERSONS.surname, max(HISTORY.startingfrom) as maxdate FROM PERSONS INNER JOIN CATALOGUES ON CATALOGUES.idperson = PERSONS.idperson INNER JOIN HISTORY ON HISTORY.idcatalogue = CATALOGUES.idcatalogue WHERE CATALOGUES.active='y' group by PERSON.surname, CATALOGUES.idcatalogue, CATALOGUES.type with indexes on: PERSONS.surname PERSONS.idperson CATALOGUES.active CATALOGUES.idcatalogue CATALOGUES.type HISTORY.idcatalogue HISTORY.startingfrom Tables contains about: PERSONS 700000 records CATALOGUES 70 records HISTORY 4 million records My query is extremely slow (about 90 seconds). If I exclude the group by and the max functions, it is extremely fast. So problem should be in group by. How can I improve the performance? Thank you very much for your explanation.
