Clients... Yes, i will be carefull with that <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/happy.gif" alt=":))" /> <br />
<br />
I need to do testing, but some things I know in advance...<br />
<br />
Like page_state index is not good... (Thats a fact)<br />
Indexes only work if there is a lot off different data... page_state is 0 or 1 so this is not worth indexing. <br />
<br />
This is base knowledge indexing  <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/smile.gif" alt=":)" /> <br />

			<description><![CDATA[You need to fill the database with thousands of records to perform a test close enough to real conditions. And I recommend doing it on localhost, or your customers/hosting won't like these experiments <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/smile.gif" alt=":)" />]]></description>

Like I said.. I know some ground rules about optimizing sql, but you are right we need more research.. <br />
<br />
If anybody can help, please let us know..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We don't mind adding more indexes if it is reasonable. To know that there should be a kind of research, involving EXPLAIN queries, query execution times in debug mode and RPS benchmarks. I agree that we should pay more attention to it. And any help with MySQL performance is appreciated.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Trustmaster,<br />
<br />
I know this already... I have done some SQL optimizing myself (NOT MySql).<br />
<br />
But I was wondering howto best tweak database performance (MySQL)<br />
<br />
And pages are used a lot, so this is a good place to look <img class="aux smiley" src="https://www.cotonti.com/./images/smilies/smile.gif" alt=":)" /><br />
<br />
But it is hard when loading times vary so much.. (I am looking on a website on a shared server)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>page3 is interesting!!</strong><br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me why in the pages table the page_begin and page_expire are not indexed ?<br />
<br />
For example the newsplugin uses these fields in the select statements, so maybe it is better to have them indexed ? Also page_ownerid wich is used to look up avatars.<br />
<br />
I hope that anybody can tell me.<br />
I want to improve the speed (It is allready fast, but there is room for improvement)<br />
