It is the Approach that it is the problem. It needs to re-addressed, not simply tinkered with. I don't care if someone figures out how to spew out 89M+ records in 5 seconds flat. What are you doing pulling up that many detail records at one time for? Who is going to look at them? You? If so, see my previous post on how long that is going to take you just to examine (!) the first million alone. This problem needs a re-working of the data processing and user interfaces to allow for the selection of an appropriate amount of individual records in any result set, otherwise simply preparing a summary of some sort. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
