A select query over a large table runs very slow because of
the growing number of entries in that table. What different
measures could be taken to improve speed?

Answer Posted / dhirendra

Myself also faced the problem and after indexing its
resolved.
Try to find out the feild name on which maximum query
executed. Create index on that field it will improve the
performance.
Secondly you may create archiev of you table which stores
the record which is not required and deletion or updation
activity and keep the current table light.
