Re: Do I need to tweak my server variables for this SELECT statement?

Based on the size (and # of colums) of your result set, I'm not sure
any amount of RAM would allow 360,000 records to be stored and sorted
entirely in memory.  After some point, mysql just decideds to use a
temp table.

That's the limit of my tweaking skills, so someone else is going to
have to help out here on the way to maximize the memory or minimize
the time for the internal sorting of the result set, if it's possible.
