I am new to PHP having moved over from .NET. I’m glad I read this article as I have many queries that seem to run slow in our CMS package which have been identified using the slow log process. I just need to know how to optimize them now! Great post thanks!

Yes Shahriat, I agree with you but another optimizing techniques are getting ready, so stay tuned! Nevertheless, any suggestion for new parts of this MySQL optimization mini series is appreciated as well!

Nice post but you can also optimize your query using profiling system which is now a days most popular technique.

I don't know what exactly do you think about, but PHP uses the sleep() function to delay execution.

Could we use waits here? I forgot what the command is in PHP to initiate a wait. You could also sort the slow queries by which took the longest, giving you a priority list.
