Re: Select * vs Select Columns
Run EXPLAIN SELECT ...; each way -- see if there is any difference.
Run EXPLAIN EXTENDED SELECT ...; immediately followed by SHOW WARNINGS; -- see if the converted SQL is any different.
SELECT * is turned into SELECT a,b,... -- so it cannot be any "better" than spelling out the fields yourself.
Since it is a JOIN, the fields will be come from all the tables.
If you run the identical SELECT twice in a row, the second one is likely to run faster simply because of caching. Did you eliminate this effect?
