I'm running an Apache 1.3.19 on a Windows NT server using PHP 4.05 and Intersolv 3.11 ODBC. I upgraded the NT server from SP5 to SP6. The ODBC connections became 3-5 times slower (a return of data went from 10 seconds to 50 seconds). Some of my stuff now times out and crashes PHP - my timeout is

2001-05-16 Thread Andrew Hill
Brian, It sounds like an issue between your Driver Manager (MDAC) which was probably upgraded with the SP6 and the Intersolv driver. You should follow up with Merant to see if there are any issues with their driver and SP6, or you can examine an ODBC Trace (Tracing tab in the ODBC Administrator)

Export as a comma-delimited file, explode() the file one line at a time along commas, and use insert via normal methods. Not sure if MySQL has a parser for comma-delim (probably does) but this way you have more control over how it goes in. -Szii - Original Message - From: Gabriel
