Re: How make indexes work with group by statement

Hi Adnan

There is no technical reason that prevents MySQL from using indexes on a query with GROUP BY. This means that for your query, MySQL considers another way of accessing the table to be cheaper. This may or may not be a problem in your case.

I can't help you more without the following additional information:
* MySQL version
* SHOW CREATE table -- for involved tables
* EXPLAIN SELECT -- for the query you want help with

Hope this helps,
