I set set_time_limit (10*60); high up. Error message: "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" Query is: $query="CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS $tbl1 SELECT TestData1.Year, TestData1.Period,TestData1.Co,TestData1.Acct,TestData1.Dept,TestData1.Descri ption,TestData1.Net,TestData1.Net*.175 AS Exps175, TestData2.USD FROM TestData1 INNER JOIN TestData2 ON CONCAT(TestData1.Journal,TestData1.Description)=CONCAT(TestData2.journal,Tes tData2.description) WHERE TestData1.Dept<>'D1'"; Thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: Micah Stevens [mailto:micah@raincross-tech.com] Sent: 19 August 2003 18:00 To: PHP-DB List Subject: Re: Queries probably timing out What leads you to believe that it's a query timeout? Is the php script timing out waiting for the database? Do you get an error saying something about "Max Execution Time"? If so, you may want to set that higher in your script. Go check out: http://si.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php That's not a small database, but it unless you're query has some CRAZY join action in it, it should pre fairly speedy. I've never seen MySQL time out though. Even with some stupidly slow queries I've done in the past. So I'm guessing it's PHP. If you get an error, post it on the list. -Micah On Tuesday 19 August 2003 2:59 am, Ignatius Reilly wrote: > ________________________ > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dillon, John" <JDillon@cantor.co.uk> > To: "PHP-DB List" <php-db@lists.php.net> > Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 11:47 AM > Subject: Queries probably timing out > > > I'm doing queries on tables with 45,000 rows in one table and 1-2000 rows > in another..
