Just an idea, I noticed you use char(10) for esn and min, and use this as
index. Are these really fixed len fields all having 10 bytes? Otherwise
varchar(10) would be better, because your tables, and especially the indices
will be probably much smaller.

what average length do you have for min and esn?
