Re: Simple Query - but explain worries me

Been looking further into this, and i'm starting to suspect a minor bug in the "optimizing" package.

Within version 5.0

if i remove

a.race_id > 300000

and add in

a.race_id < 400000

instead, the explain shows it going to the smaller table first. But as soon as i add in the > sign, the "optimizer" wants it to go to the bigger table first.

Maybe this is a recognised difference between DB2 and MySQL, but i can't see any benefit to going to a larger table before a smaller table?

Cheers
