Why is the table tms_wsr_header in the from clause as it is not used in the
select columns? A simple "wsr_header_id is not null" would do the same as
this is a foreign key into the tms_wsr_header table. An index with on
tms_timesheet_details.id "where wsr_header_id is not null" might then speed
the query up if there were significant numbers of rows with a null
wsr_header_id.
