Hi, Can anybody explain this: Records: 600,000 Field Width: Approximately 20 UTF8 characters - type is VARCHAR(25) Field is Indexed. SELECT DISTINCT field FROM table; Takes about 6 seconds. There are 111 distinct items. On Sqlite, and another place where I have a B+Tree, this query is faster than my eye can measure. Is this a well known issue?
