Try with creating INDEX on the used tables...It will make your search query
faster.
Thanks

Subject: [SQL] Speed up slow select - was gone blind
Hi folks.
I've got my select working now, but I haven't received the speed increase
I'd expected. It replaced an earlier select which combined a single
explicit join with multiple froms.
The first select is the old one, the second one is the new one (with a new
join). The new one takes 24 seconds to run while the old one took 29.
How can I redo the select to improve the speed, or what else can I do to
optimaise the database?
