Follow up- We solved this by moving that hugemongous query into a stored procedure. Not the most elegant fix but until we get to PHP5 and native driver, etc it seems our only fix. -----Original Message----- From: Krister Karlström [mailto:krister.karlstrom@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 2:04 PM To: Weaver Hickerson Cc: PHP DB Subject: Re: PHP4, mssql_* and SQL Server 2005 Ouch! That was like the.. longest.. query that I've ever seen! I'm surprised that it actually works and even more impressed that someone actually figured that out... It might take a long time to run, since it uses so many subqueries (if there's lots of data or even a moderate amount of data). Are you sure there's no easier way to fetch your data? Most subqueries can be re-written using a join and some more where-comparisons instead... Actually I'm more amazed that you actually can send that query and that it works.. There's a slight chance that your problems might be solved by rewriting that query... Maybe it's just to long or something, I don't know. I will however not take the time to refactor that query... :) Are you running PHP under Linux or Windows? You said that you only found two queries that breaks? Wll, if the shorter ones works, but the longer ones hangs, then maybe that's the problem...? :) Regards, Krister Karlström, Helsinki, Finland Weaver Hickerson wrote: > Krister - > I've included the query below - If I paste it in query analyzer on 2000, or 2005 it works fine. > > Just coming through PHP4 to 2005, it hangs. I actually don't get an error, and then the browser says the server is too busy to handle the request. Strange things like that. (I am using Zend Core with Apache and PHP 5).
