Ed,

No there are no bitmap indexes. Why they are not implemented ? Well there are a lot of features which are not (yes) – hash join, sort merge join, a lot of subqueries optimizations. It should come but over time.

Is there something like bitmap indexes in MySQL ? And if not, why have they not implemented such a great feature?

Apachez, you are so irrelevant and stupid in this thread. Did you have gasoline for breakfast when you wrote your posts?

I’m very happy with Sphinx (Andrew Aksyonoff thank you a lot for that !), it doesn’t take too much CPU (the Mysql’s one – Full text from myisam – takes a lot, maybe there’s some bug in 5.1 I don’t know, but after migrating mysql takes half less cpu..).

I really recomand to everyone Sphinx, a very very fast thing !

Roy,

There is LIMIT you can do LIMIT 10 LIMIT 10,10 etc.

If you’re not familiar with this functionality you really should get good MySQL Book.
