Optimizing single-table queries

Consider all possible plans

Combine index scans

  • If there are (separate) indexes on a and b, most database systems will consider using both and combining the results. (MySQL will not.)
  • SelectIndex on a.
  • SelectIndex on b.
  • Intersect the results.
  • Retrieve qualifying rows.
