So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that I should add a column defined as date(<my datetime column>) and index that, and then start all my joins with that column. Correct?

Here's how the merge table is defined: CREATE TABLE table_a ( <a bunch of columns and indexes> ) ENGINE=MRG_MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 PACK_KEYS=1 UNION=( <a bunch of tables> );
