Question

This is my query

SELECT PadID FROM Pads WHERE ((RemoveMeDate='2001-01-01 00:00:00') 
AND (catid in (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11)) AND ((ProgramName)<>'')) 
ORDER BY VersionAddDate DESC LIMIT 0,20;

Since I added

catID in (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11)

Its slowed down a lot.

I’ve tried…

SELECT PadID FROM Pads WHERE RemoveMeDate='2001-01-01 00:00:00' AND 
catid >= 0 and catid <= 11 ORDER BY VersionAddDate DESC LIMIT 0,20

But thats just a slow.

I thought I might be able to you coalesce but I’m not sure how ?

Any ideas ?

I guess you have to convince MySQL to filter on RemoveMeDate first. Try:

SELECT  PadID 
FROM    (
        SELECT  *
        FROM    Pads
        WHERE   RemoveMeDate = '2001-01-01 00:00:00' 
        ) as SubQuery
WHERE   catid >= 0 and catid <= 11 
ORDER BY 
        VersionAddDate DESC 
LIMIT   0, 20
