I’m reasonably new to using SQL, so I apologise if this is a newbish question!

I’m wanting to be able to view the results of a query in a graph on my website. The problem however is the query takes 2-3 seconds to process (due to a Distinct count over 200,000+ fields), and could likely be called multiple times a second.

If I put the query in a view instead, and have my graph access the view, is there anyway I can set the view to update periodically instead of everytime someone goes to the site? Or is there another way round this?

EDIT: DBMS is MySQL

    You could populate the data using a sproc or even just a normal TSQL if you want, using a Scheduled Job. Or, as Gijo suggested, you could look at database replication, but I am not sure that you need that kind of overhead if you can get away with the first choice of periodically caching the data.
