Thanks in Advance for your helps,Arun Hi, First of all, 7.4 reached end-of-life ~3 years ago. And 7.4.3 is not even the last release in this branch - there are ~30 updates. Go and upgrade to 7.4.30 now. We'll need a bit more info about the tables / queries. What exactly have you done? Show us the commands you've executed. Then show us EXPLAIN ANALYZE for the queries.
