Sybase ASE 11.9.2 on Linux

Hi guys-- I just had a horrible experience. It was mostly my fault, but I would just like to know what exactly happened....I wrote this software that would control a programming contest that the local chapter of the ACM was putting on. I utilized PHP4 RC1 and Sybase to create the system. During initial tests, everything worked very well. But as soon as the teams started loging on, the database just seemed to die. Like 15 users was just way too much for it or something. PHP seemed to act normally, but it was like no data was being returned in SQL queries. I used sybase_pconnect every time I had to connect to the database, so I don't think I was getting too many connections or anything (and like I said before, it was only 15 people using it). Any Sybase people in here maybe know what I did wrong? I am reinstalling Oracle8i as we speak....but I would still like to know what exactly did go wrong. Thanks in advance, --Bryan Batcheldet --Stetson University
