Sorry to interrupt, but I have had the "opportinuty" to have to work with MySQL. This nice little gem is packed away in the reference for mysql_use_result().
"On the other hand, you shouldn't use mysql_use_result() if you are doing a lot of processing for each row on the client side, or if the output is sent to a screen on which the user may type a ^S (stop scroll). This ties up the server and prevent other threads from updating any tables from which the data is being fetched." How do busy web sites work like this? What is the best way to go about creating a "plug and play," PostgreSQL replacement for MySQL? I think the biggest problem getting PostgreSQL accepted is that so much code is available for MySQL. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
