Hello

Here's the stored procedure itself,as well as the
related tables involved in it's calculations.
The idea for procedure is to find longest prefix match
for destination number,try to find it in table
'billing' for particular users,find the price,and
insert message into history and inqueue table,as well
as to decreace the user's balance in table 'users'.
Would it help to put all prefices,prices data in some
sort of cache and let procedure first try to match
with data from cache and if it can't find to try to
get data from table itself from hard disk ?

I'm looking for some solution where this procedure can
operate at higher loads and to leave other parts of
database operational as much as it could.
