I'm afraid in my case, the query needs to be pretty much a complete table dump. Even if I filter a subset the data, my relational DB experience (not deep, admittedly, and only with enterprise products like Oracle and ... ugh... MSSql) tells me that indices on tables less than a few thousand entires cost more in upkeep than they gain in response. And this is only about 300-400 rows... and more to the point, this happens when I pull more than 30 of them or so! I feel that something MUST be wrong! But all of that aside, the problem isn't just that it takes a "long time"... the problem seems to be that it literally *crashes* the instance of PHP! (The webpage never finishes loading, and the CPU meter drops back down to idle levels, and if I cancel the webpage, I leave an orphaned instance of PHP.exe running, which I cannot kill even from my Win2000 Task Manager). I mean, I'm a newbie and I'll admit that, but that just Don't seem Right. Does ANYONE have any idea what might be happening and how I can fix it? Please? :) -P -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
