Re: Optimizing ORDER BY any ideas?

[Marc Van Olmen]

I rerun this query without the ORDER BY now a dozens of time and it never gives me the Using Index anymore at 5.row also the results are different from the results i just run a few minutes ago.

again the results are similar but it seems mysql for some reason???? has done the same query differnt now and now the first ROW doesn't have the Index in case of the ORDER BY.... don't understand why it is different.... then just a minute ago... but at least the results are similar between the 2 queries...

and in Both results (the one NOW here and the one in previous mail) there is seems to be taken the index in case you don't use ORDER BY)


So here what I have now:

mysql> EXPLAIN select
-> DISTINCT SAO_INDEX
-> from
-> T_SALES_ORDER_ITEM,
-> T_PROGRAM_PRODUCT,
-> T_PROPERTY,
-> T_SCHEDULE_ITEM,
-> T_SALES_ORDER
-> where
-> SOI_LNK_PRODUCT NOT IN (7,8,9)
-> and PMP_LNK_CHANNEL = 1
-> and PMP_LNK_PROGRAM = 1
-> and SOI_LNK_PRODUCT = PMP_LNK_PRODUCT
-> and SOI_LNK_SALES_ORDER = SAO_INDEX
-> and PRY_LNK_SALES_ORDER_ITEM = SOI_INDEX
-> and SCI_LNK_SALES_ORDER_ITEM = SOI_INDEX
-> and SCI_LNK_MEDIUM IN (1,2)
-> and SCI_LNK_CHANNEL = 1
-> and ( ((SCI_START_DATE <= '2004-09-08') and ( SCI_FINISHED_DATE >= '2004-09-08' ))
-> OR ((SCI_START_DATE >= '2004-09-08') and (SCI_FINISHED_DATE <= '2005-09-06'))
-> OR (SCI_START_DATE between '2004-09-08' and '2005-09-06')) \G;

Running with ORDER BY it gives:
