Well if the zip codes have something in common just do a pattern match for them or are you just picking random zip codes? This way you only need one one sql statement to bring everything back.

I am querying our database for 11,000 different zip codes and it seems to be overloading MySQL. However, common sense says it shouldn't. My question is: When needing to query 11,000 things, is it best to make 1 SQL statement that has 11,000 ors, or run through individual querys 11,000 times? Any help would be wonderful! I am making PHP do the counting rather than MySQL. Thanks!
