Hi,

I have a mysql database I am working with that has 32 million records in it. ... Maybe I should break it down alphabetically or something.

This goes against the meaning of using SQL server - it optimizes this itself.

The reason for my concern about this is when I access the database through phpMyadmin,

I do not use phpMyadmin myself, I find mysql(1) client more comfortable. Still: Do you really have the SQL indexes properly setup even for the accesses by phpMyadmin? The time is consumed by MySQL or phpMyAdmin (httpd/PHP)? You can also access query limited by parts FIELD like 'f%' without modifying the tables structure, can't you? Sure the proper index should be setup and this approach would be definitely just a phpMyadmin workaround.

Sorry for not knowing the phpMyadmin problems myself, I find you should even be able to use mysql-query-browser and mysql-administrator as GUI interfaces.
