While trying to optimize a MySQL query, I ran into a problems trying to avoid MySQL and disk caching which was making it impossible to accurately benchmark two different queries. Fortunately, I was running MySQL on a Centos box and this enabled me to run two quick commands that provided a "fresh" enviornment for each query benchmark.

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
service mysql restart

The first command clears the disk cache. The second restarts MySQL. Now, each query can be evaluated on its merits and not how well MySQL and Centos try to optimize performance.

This just describes how MySQL uses single index there are more complex rules of how indexes will be used if you look at multiple indexes usage with index merge Using Index to Sort Data Another great benefit of BTREE index is it allows to retrieve data in sorted form hence avoiding external sort process for executing of queries which require sorting.

I have started using the Mac keyboard on my Windows PC for development. However, PrtSc and the alt keys can be an annoyance. This article describes how to fix both issues.

This is a very cool tool, though the installation is a little confusing. It basically puts the program under the IIS management console, but it works on any website regardless of where it is located.

Other than that, a very useful tool.
