| Is there a way to only include certain matching conditions in indexes? Example if I have a row I want to index that is mysql dates (2007-06-07) and I only want to include CURRENT and FUTURE dates in the index and ignore any past dates. Is that possible at all? The issue I have is that the ratio of queries on old vs. new data is like 1:100000. And searches would be MUCH faster if I could force my queries that are looking at current or future data to use an index that ONLY had that information in them.. Thanks in advance for insight here. |

The strategies to do what you want will usually involve archiving off old data to other tables with fewer indexes, and creating a VIEW over the old and new tables, or moving all old data to a data warehouse, or something like that. Incidentally, this is exactly what I built MySQL Archiver to do (just released a few days ago): http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2007/06/06...-091-released/ http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/05/02...g-jobs-in-sql/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqltoolkit Baron |

You might want to look at partition pruning in MySQL 5.1. - Perrin |
