    <p>I have a table inside of my mysql database which I constantly need to alter and insert rows into but it continues running slow when I make changes making it difficult because there are over 200k+ entries. I tested another table which has very few rows and it moves quickly, so it's not the server or database itself but that particular table which has a tough time. I need all of the table's rows and cannot find a solution to get around the load issues.</p> <pre><code>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `articles`; /*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */; /*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */; CREATE TABLE `articles` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `content` text NOT NULL, `author` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `topic` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `subtopics` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `keywords` text NOT NULL, `submitdate` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `date` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `day` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `month` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `year` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `time` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `ampm` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `ip` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `score_up` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `score_down` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `total_score` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `approved` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `visible` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `searchable` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `addedby` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `keyword_added` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `topic_added` varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `score_up` (`score_up`), KEY `score_down` (`score_down`), FULLTEXT KEY `SEARCH` (`content `), FULLTEXT KEY `asearch` (`author`), FULLTEXT KEY `topic` (`topic`), FULLTEXT KEY `keywords` (`content `,`keywords`,`topic`,`author`), FULLTEXT KEY `content ` (`content `,`keywords`), FULLTEXT KEY `new` (`keywords`), FULLTEXT KEY `author` (`author`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=290823 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; /*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */; </code></pre>

    1. COPost the table's structure via its `CREATE TABLE` statement. Perhaps indexing some columns will help you

    3. COIt's not a mass write, I can only insert 1 row at a time but it will run slow in comparison to other smaller tables.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
