Mark,
Thanks for your help. I am a relative newbie though, so I am not sure
how to do this. Any pointers would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Matt

Why not have the ASP file generate a delimited .txt
file that a php script could read in a while loop... this might save you
from crashing. Or do I have things all wrong?

I have a large CSV file containing UK postcodes with their n/e
co-ordinates which I need to put into a postgresql database. Its become
very hard to handle as my machine cannot handle the whole CSV file so
I've been chopping it into more manageable pieces and creating PHP
insert scripts with the 'chopped bits'.
Unfortunately, my PC can only handle about 10000 records at a time and
there are 2 million+. I don't have time to do 200 scripts, so does
anybody have any further ideas.
