Question : MySQL Temp table SLOW!

So I have this proc that is DEAD SLOW. It takes minutes to return. If I dont use a temp table, it takes about a tenth of a second.

Any clues?

Hi!

Does your aggr_filingID have index on the column cik_issuer ?
If not I would create an non-unique index on the columns (cik_issuer, filingID) which
would give you index-only scan/reading for the first query.
Then I would create or have an index on the column filingID the temporary table filingIDTT
like this

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS filingIDTT (
filingID INT, INDEX USING BTREE ( filingID)
);

Hope this helps.
