indexs, primary and such - MySQL Database

entoone

I have a very small db of only like 15 files, and with 120 records.

If I do a query from the page, via a php file it seems to take 2-3 seconds
for the results to come up.
I'm anticipating having a lot more records, upwards of 300-800 records.

I'm looking for the best way to create my indexes for fast response times. I
think right now that the performance isn't that slow.

My primate key is presently set to ID which is an autoincremting field with
a length of 6.

I do have queries that call for records that match a state also.

Any suggestions? thanks for your time!

EnToone -
basically any column that I would use as part of the record selection
criteria -
i.e. WHERE clauses
JOIN criteria
would be a good column to index on. So map out what you want to do, on
paper, with your select statements and study your where clauses and join
criteria - then index those columns.

let me know how it goes for you .

I know (I think) that a Primary Key is a special field that uniquely identifies each record or row within a table. My question is this: If I have a field or column whose values are all (and will be) different in every row, is that what a Primary Key...

confusion over indexs via primary key and clustered index

Hi I thought that given a table with an index, primary key and clustered index any non clustered index look ups would go via the clustered index and the primary key is irrelevant? (sql server 2000). A colleague has said that the primary key should be the clustered index because all index lookups will go via the primary key. Is this right? I thought the primary key was nothing more than a constraint on what data can be entered into the...
