This is more a "How would you do it" than a "How can i do it" question.

Didn't have time to try it, but i want to know how mysql_seek_row acts with large result sets.

For example im thinking of building a node tree application that can have dual direction links to nodes attached to different places.

I was wondering if i could actually have two result sets that query everything sorted by ID (Links and Nodes) then just seek the rows i need instead of dumping everything in php memory. When i mean large i mean really large, more than the standard possible 2 mbs of data allowed by most php servers.

That's where the "how you'd do it" comes into play. I think i'd just query my tables, loop them but keep only the line (to do a data_seek later on) and ID in some kind of an hash table or simply an array. This would make it relatively fast without taking too much memory.

This is my solution, how do you people see it without dumping everything to memory or by making recursive SQL calls (which will obviously slow everything down i'm pretty sure)

I don't get it - what are you trying to do? Why? What is being visualized in the tree structure?

Building trees is expensive, you're essentially duplicating the index of the database, and if you fetch the data it's in memory regardless of how you present it.

The mysql_data_seek needs the row number - but by then you're on the client side, if this is to respond to a link.

Maybe I just don't see it - or maybe you're confusing server side and client side.
