I attach a small database where it is possible to reproduce the issue. I deleted all irrelevant tables and all the tuples in the Message table to keep the file size small but had run ANALYZE before doing that.
Mailing list does not allow attachments. Can you either upload the db somewhere, or include the output of ".dump" in the body of the message if it is small enough? Thanks.
This is the query to reproduce with 3.7.15.2: EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN SELECT * FROM message WHERE tag IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30

As you suggested I put a plus sign in front of the Flag column and that really made the query much faster by using the multi column index (Tag, Flag, Id) instead of the primary index on the Id column. However what I don't get is, I actually had removed that single column index on the Flag before and run ANALZE. How come the query optimizer makes another decision when I put a + in front of a column which is not indexed alone? Is there another way to improve this query, other than using the + sign? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Happy new year!

My table structure looks basically as follows: CREATE TABLE "Messages" ("Id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, "Tag" INTEGER NOT NULL, "Flag" INTEGER ) I have a multi-column index on (Tag, Flag, Id) as well as a single column index on the Flag column. My guess is that the single-column index on Flag is misleading the query optimizer. You can probably fix this by either (1) running ANALYZE or (2) adding a "+" in front of the "Flag" column name in the WHERE clause of your query, like this: "... +Flag=1 ..." _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
