Hello,

I guess that the time offsets (now-21 and now-28) are evaluated each
time the corresponding condition is met.
It may be faster to put them into a separate sub query. I'm not sure
about putting "now" itself within the sub query...

It may also be better to put your query in a procedure where you can put
these constants into variables instead of using a sub query.

Depending of the distribution of a) 2_past,1_future,0_current and '' and
b) t.type,  it may be worth to have different queries, bound with UNION
ALL. This would simplify the "CASE" construct and at least part of the
tests should happen on indexes only.


If the query is run very often, you may want to add a boolean column
is_past on show_date, and have a separate job that put the concerned
records to true every x minutes ...


HTH,

Marc Mamin
