Re: Hanging LDAP query on large result set

[Rich Megginson]

Do you know how many entries are in the result set?  Is this an indexed search? 
 If you do a really large unindexed search, it may take the database a very 
long time to respond, or it may return an error if resource limits are exceeded.

I would suggest using only indexed searches and adding more search criteria to 
reduce the result set size.

I'm using Netscape LDAP SDK to do some searches. 
I tested the code on a small dataset, and it works fine. When I run it
on a bigger dataset, the search hangs, without throwing any
exceptions.
I've let it run for hours and it still does not stop.  

The program does work when I set the number of MaxResults in search
constraint to 100 or less, or if I make the search more restrictive. 
However, I need to fetch all of the results.

I've also tried setBatchSize(100) in the search constraint (without
setting MaxResults), but the search still fails.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Julia
