I have a query statement like this select hiart01a.cust, hiarf01.nama, hiarf01.al2, hiart01a.tgl, hiart01a.netto, hiart01a.muka from hiart01a, hiarf01 where hiart01a.tgl>=from_days(to_days(now()) - 180) and hiart01a.tgl<=from_days(to_days(now()) - 30) order by hiart01a.cust; when I run this statement, it takes more than 2 hours. Detail information: -. there are 200K rows in both tables (hiart01a, hiarf01) -. I am using mysql 5.019 -. I am running on testing server (pentium 4, 3GHz, RAM 1GB) and the system variables like this innodb_additional_mem_pool_size 25165824 innodb_autoextend_increment 8 innodb_buffer_pool_awe_mem_mb 0 innodb_additional_mem_pool_size 25165824 innodb_autoextend_increment 8 innodb_buffer_pool_awe_mem_mb 0 & nbsp; innodb_buffer_pool_size 734003200 innodb_log_buffer_size 4194304 innodb_log_file_size 17825792 innodb_open_files 300 innodb_thread_concurrency 100 max_allowed_packet 1048576 max_binlog_cache_size 4294967295 max_binlog_size 1073741824 max_connect_errors 10 max_connections 800 max_delayed_threads 20 max_error_count 64 max_heap_table_size 16777216 max_insert_delayed_threads 20 max_join_size 4294967295 max_length_for_sort_data 1024 max_relay_log_size 0 max_seeks_for_key 4294967295 max_sort_length 1024 max_tmp_tables 32 max_user_connections 0 query_alloc_block_size 8192 query_cache_limit 1048576 query_cache_min_res_unit 4096 query_cache_size 0 query_cache_type ON read_buffer_size 61440 I am wondering there is a way to make the query process faster. I am looking forward to a favorable reply from you. Thank you. Regards, Eko
