Re: PHP and MS SQL 2000 Performance

I run SQL Server on my Pentium III 800mhz laptop which also runs IIS 5 and a variety of other services (including the PHP cgi) and have not seen any type of performance problems. First, are you using the mssql.dll to connect or ODBC? Second, are you running PHP as a cgi or ISAPI plug-in? Third, is performance from an ODBC client and/or remote Query Analyzer client slow performing the same queries? Fourth, did you check your SQL Server box and look at the activity on it? Is SQL Server or some other service hogging resources? Thanks, Joshua Hoover

We're only running one database on the system. The sample databases that come with the software are still on there, but they're not being used at all - this system is still in the testing stage. We're running an Athlon 1.2 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM. "Gadam" <gadam@arkonet.gr> wrote in message news:001c01c170b4$266aeb50$0100a8c0@fintani... MS SQL has generally very slow performance and is consuming a lot of system resources. Are you running any other databases on the SQL server, apart from the one you are querying? Could it be that your system has very small processing power? In any case, these possibilities wouldn't justify suck a long delay, unless you SQL server is "overcrowded" with other huge databases that you use...
