Thanks for reply!
Yes, it is very slow too if I just execute the "select ..." part.
When I run
mysql> explain extended select a.*, b.assname, b.cname, b.cusip, b.own,
b.pname, b.sname from nber1999.pat1 as a inner join nber1999.compusta1
asb on a.assignee=b.assignee;
I got
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len |
ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | b | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
NULL | 4906 | |
| 1 | SIMPLE | a | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
NULL | 2089903 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+
2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Best,
Jia
