Performance problem migrating from NDB to MyISAM
Posted by: Giuseppe Proietti

Hi,

I'm moving a DB from a NDBCluster to a MyISAM Mysql server, using mysqldump.
The porting looks ok, but I got serious performances problem on some nested queries.
The same query that on NDB takes 0.03 sec, on MyISAM takes about 17 secs.
Using the explain select command I discovered that on MyISAM the indexes usage differs, on one table they aren't considered, even if they are declared.

So, the same query on the migrated DB tooks significant more time ( 17 secs instead of 0.03 secs , very bad for our application :( ).

How I can solve this issue ?
Below the details of versions, explain select and environment variables for both situations.
