Re: Is there any performance reason to use "unique index"

2004-09-09 Thread Harrison
A unique index can actually be faster than a regular index. The reason is that MySQL knows that there can only be a single matching row for each value. In particular, this allows you to get "const" and "eq_ref" for the type in an EXPLAIN, which are two of the fastest methods of table access.

The uniqueness constraint would only be enforced during an INSERT or an UPDATE. If your table is read-only, declaring the index as UNIQUE will be overkill. I can't tell you about any kind of performance hit during reading but I try to follow the maxim "don't ask for it if you won't need it". I

Yes, you're right. Let me explain it more clearly. Before UPDATE, there are 45 records in table "temp" and I updated 9 of them. Mysql returns how many rows were affected which is 9 rows. Then, I opened the table temp and found that table is empty!No records at all. Therefore, that is why I feel so
