Hi there! I am querying our database for 11,000 different zip codes and it seems to be overloading MySQL. However, common sense says it shouldn't. My question is: When needing to query 11,000 things, is it best to make 1 SQL statement that has 11,000 ors, or run through individual querys 11,000 times? Any help would be wonderful! I am making PHP do the counting rather than MySQL. Thanks! Julie --
