There's a couple of things that make us believe it's the browser: 1. The timeout message on Konqueror is a dialog box, not a web page. 2. Sometimes (we think) the query returns in just under 60 seconds (it's been clocked from the command line at 55) and it takes a few more seconds for the server to generate the HTML. The browser still times out. > Have you tried to optimize this query? > Maybe post to this list and wait for some suggestions... It's a procedure, actually, with about 16 steps. It's likely that we'll break it down into 3-4 sub procedures for "progress reporting" purposes. This will slow down the process overall but prevent browser timeouts. -Josh ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete information technology josh@xxxxxxxxxxxx and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.
