I need to do about 5 queries: 1) pick the top visited articles 2) pick the recent articles (limit 10) 3) pick the most commented articles etc. Now, I have 2 choices: 1) SELECT ALL records and use PHP for conditions 2) do 5 queries on MySQL --- Imagine it has 500 long text articles. Which of these 2 options is better for performance? Thanks, Martin -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
