The only select that I'm running on the entire site is related to the pagination... A simple: $sqlCount = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM main WHERE state = '{$state}'"; which limits it to everything inside the state... Unfortunately if you look at the possibilities, it's still quite a large dataset... 89 million :) The rest of the query's will be much more limited to areacode, exchange, and in some cases the full phone number... Maybe the better way to do it would be not to count the records.... But set a variable with the total count... That way I don't have to load all the data... The data amount won't change alot... Easy enough to set a variable... Just need to see if I can integrate that with the pagination...
