Hi there,
I'm having some problems with the performance on queries including a join.
for example:
SELECT members_data.pwd FROM emails,members_data WHERE emails.email =
'koen@v3.com' AND emails.uin = members_data.uin;
is a lot slower then extracting the join into 2 seperate queries like:
SELECT emails.uin FROM emails WHERE lower(emails.email) = 'koen@v3.com';
--and use the result in the next query ($db_result)
SELECT members_data.pwd FROM members_data WHERE members_data.uin =
$db_result;
Now the login routine is MUCH faster ;-) , but performance problems remain
when the the result is more than 1 record (Unlike a unique emailaddress...)
Is there anyone out there who has ideas how to write faster queries
including tablejoins?
I already tried Inner Join, Natural Join and Join On, wich didn't seem
affect the performance in any way...
Kind regards,
Koen Antonissen
