Hi, is there anyway this can be made faster? id is the primary key,
and there is an index on uid..
thanks
EXPLAIN ANALYZE select * from pokes where uid = 578439028 order by id

First this should be posted on performance list.
how many records are in this table? The uid 578,439,028 assuming this
is auto incremented key that started 1 this means there is 578 million
records in the table.
The estimate is way off, when was the last time Vaccum was on the table?
