Unless you've got an index on (name,date,observationType), the query will not perform particularly well. Also, Felix makes a good point; you are precluding the use of an index on the name field by using a non-deterministic function on the left side of the equation. Change it to what Felix wrote, add an index on (name, date, observationType) and post the EXPLAIN SELECT.
