I searched through mailing list archives but was unable to find full
coverage of this question -- my apologies if this is a reposted question.
I have two tables with about 9,000 records in each table. Each table has an
index on the column track_id.
I am trying to do the following query:
"select * from track_category_track c, track_datafile d where
c.track_id='49682224EB2753AB0A262ACB00172E08' and d.track_id=c.track_id"
This takes more than 1 second to run, even though track_id is indexed in
both tables. Furthermore, if I do
"select * from track_category_track c, track_datafile d where
c.track_id='49682224EB2753AB0A262ACB00172E08' and
d.track_id='49682224EB2753AB0A262ACB00172E08'"
then the query runs in 20ms.
I also have a third table with track_id where track_id is the primary key,
and when I do the same join between that table and track_category_track or
track_datafile, the query executes in 20ms. So the problem seems to be only
when I am joining these two tables.
Anyone have any idea why? Thanks...
Nick
