I fixed this a short while ago, but reshuffling my schema. I'm working with a pseudo-semistructured model, which had indexed some big varchars. On a hunch I moved the big, never read, garbage (as I should have first done) into a text_type, where I stored them as text. It seems to have fixed the problem. > Hope this helps It did a tad. Now I know why it didn't work in the first place. Seems like a bit of poor error handling/reporting on the part of sybase though. Thanks. R.
