I am trying to figure out why the following SQL has a type of ALL for the categories c table.
EXPLAIN SELECT
t.todo_id,
t.name todo_name,
c.name category_name
FROM
todos t,
categories c
WHERE t.category_id = c.category_id
The todos table has an index on category_id and todo_id is a primary key.
The category_id column in the categories table is a primary key.
The EXPLAIN lists PRIMARY as a possible key for the categories table but it isn’t using it.
Thanks.
It’s simple. Your query selects all data from your tables. If you add the WHERE statement everything be fine.
