Thanks, have added that to my list of newsgroups.

I agree that the syntax is probably the problem, or possibly that a
query which will take a humongous time to execute is being created
(possibly a Cartesian product is being generated). However we don't
have the schema, or the nrows for each table, or what the final SQL
being run is so this is all a shot in the dark.

====================================
You say you don't have the schema - Do you mean you don't have the table's
definition? I'm a newbie (six months or so at MySQL) and I might be short on
the correct naming convention for it... but if you do not know the table's
definition, then using PHP to query the database and perform a 'DESCRIBE
database.tablename' and examine the output...
Hope that helps you some...
Replies please... via the newsgroup, so everyone can learn...
Thanks,
