Query takes a long time

[Joseph Hesse]

I created a complex query, a triple join, to create a temporary table.
To test it I put it in an sql script.
It worked without error and took 0.14 seconds to execute.

I executed the same query in mysql++ and the time was 11 seconds.

In both cases the code was executed on the computer running the mysql 
server.

The code is too complex to write here.  I am hoping there might be ways 
to figure out why the query is taking so long in mysql++.

I am still a novice in MySQL.

Thank you,
Joe
