Hi!
I'm trying to run the following query.

"(SELECT 
Priority, OnDateExt, OnTime, OnMilli, OffDateExt, OffTime, Name, Native_SumDesc, 
Comment 
FROM history.alarm_summary 
WHERE OnDateExt > DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 14 DAY) )
UNION 
(SELECT 
Priority, OnDateExt, OnTime, OnMilli, OffDateExt, OffTime, Name, Native_SumDesc, 
Comment 
FROM history.event_summary 
WHERE OnDateExt > DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 14 DAY) )

ORDER BY 2 DESC, 3 DESC, 4 DESC 
LIMIT 0,38 "


The alarm_summary and event_summary contains about 150k records and OnDateExt, OnTime, 
OnMilli is indexed.

The fun part is that this this query takes about 8-10 sek to complete with 
excel(import external data), the mysql client (command prompt) and a using odbc mfc 
classes but with MySQLcc it takes only 0.1sek to run???
I've tried to change the query so there's no possibility that MySQLcc has cached 
something but cannot make mysqlcc run the query under 0.2 sek.

Can anybody have any clue on why this is happening.

This is a quite serious issue because if the query takes 8sek i have to seriously 
rethink things to make it run faster because the mysql server is running at high cpu 
usage during the query and i have other tasks at that computer that also needs a 
little cpu time. Perhaps move the last 14 days of data into a separate table instead 
of running the query in the large table but how can the mysqlcc be that fast???, it 
has to be an illusion but i cant figure out why i'm seeing it.

Any thoughts

Cheers 
Fredrik Högberg
