So don't do that. Process it like a stream. I'm helping a church rewrite some code which generates a PDF church directory. It's failing because they run mysql_query which joins the families + members table and it uses more memory than the host allows. I know this is just two data points, but I wonder why a PHP guy and now a Python guy overlooks this. Fortunately, when I was "stupid", I was using Visual Basic/DAO Recordsets which implemented a cursor size. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
