A UNION might be more appropriate, but that may or may not be any faster for the DB, and would require all the SELECT x, y, z lists to "match up" in data type... Note that MySQL may or may not do a UNION in parallel -- You'd have to ask MySQL folks. Come to think of it... Is it really going to help anything to slam the database with 3 X queries instead of just letting it finish one before you hit it again? You have a VERY good chance of just thrashing MySQL server instead of actually gaining any performance. Try writing three different dirt-simple scripts and ab them versus one script with three queries with ab and see if it really helps. > If you're inserting data, look into MySQL's INSERT DELAYED syntax.
