Well, I get the delay if I query with perl DBI or enter the query directly in the mysql client. perl DBI + Informix does not buffer so I know that it is not that combo. (I guess it could be the DBD::mysql.) While the query is running w/o any results being returned yet, the process list shows "sending data". b. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 11:38 AM > To: Mysql List > Subject: Non-Buffered mysqld > > MySQL 4.0 > > Is there a way to prevent mysql(d) from buffering > the output ala 'mysqldump -q'? > > The specific case I am thinking of is a simple > SELECT ...
