I used to use named pipes to connect to a remote sql server. My nt department removed anonymous access account and now I have to use tcpip. Since the change the performance of the php quering has decreased. it takes more time to load the page. anything to look at in the sql configs or in the php.ini file to speed up the tcpip query? Any other ideas would be great. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
