I have now made it two items: * Use indexes in ORDER BY for restrictive data sets * Use indexes in ORDER BY for min(), max() We currently do not use indexes to handle ORDER BY because it is slower, but for queries returning only a few rows, we could use the index and skip the ORDER BY. Not sure if this is done yet, or if it is important. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
