It's only adding an index to one field, but I took the opportunity to start a new application server, as the current one has been running for months. No problems with it, but it's nice to start fresh now and again.
Anyway, the added index seems to have done the trick. Yesterday, the query in question took 39.4 seconds; today: 0.02 seconds. An improvement of around three orders of magnitude seems worthwhileComment

Just been potching about a bit, sort of aimlessly.
Put a new 13A plug on the etching facility in the shed.
No rush, it's only been here since August.
Then potched about a bit more, and selected a foot or so of tomes for donation to the lucky folks at the Oxfam charity bookshop in Swansea.
I'm sure they'll be ever so grateful for 40 & nearly 50 year old tomes about field theory and the like.
I'm sure if I'd read some of them I'd really be better off.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

I was ever so pleased.
It was almost as successful as porting a loader software from RTOS to MTS without realising that when the E register got changed it put really really strange data into the tester.
Took a while to figure that one out.
How I larfed.
Especially since I wasn't the one who'd spent several hours trying to figure out why the IC tester wouldn't run that program.
The loader software in question being the thousand odd lines of assembler with the sole comment being "START".
That's 35 or so years ago.
And just think, that GA had 48k and was slower than the Amstrad 1512. while costing about 50 or 60 times as much.
Tea/dinner was poached egg & poached tomato on sunflower seed toast.
It was quite nice.
It's a probably unsuccessful attempt to reduced the flatulence to be expected tomorrow in "work".Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 28 April 2019, 17:54.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

The chicken I hastily grabbed off the shelf in M&S because it was the nearest one with a viable use-by date turns out, on closer examination, to be huge enough that palaeontologists will mistake it for one of the larger dinosaurs when they uncover its bones in landfill some generations hence
For the avoidance of doubt, I am not complaining about thisComment

*after processing into stock/soup of course?
