Hi everyone,

i have a table with around 57 million tuples, with the following columns: pid(varchar), crit(varchar), val1(varchar),
val2(varchar).Example: 
pid    crit    val1    val2
p1      c1      x        y
p1      c2      x        z
p1      c3      y        x
...
What i am doing is to query all val1 and val2 for one pid and all crit values:

select val1, val2, crit from mytable where pid='somepid' and crit in(select crit from myCritTable);
where myCritTable is a table that contains all crit values (around 42.000) ordered by their insertion date.

Unfortunately the query takes pretty long for the big table, so maybe one of you has a suggestion on how to make it
faster.
