From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Solaris 7 PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related Bug description: sybase_unbuffered_query eats memory
Large selection sets using sybase_query use too much memory, since it pulls the entire result set into memory. In my example, the memory of the httpd daemon quickly builds to about 155MB before the 30 second timeout. I had figured that sybase_unbuffered_query would solved that problem. Unfortunately, it also bleeds memory, however not as bad. It raises the memory usage of the httpd daemon to 53MB before the 30 second timeout. I believe this is either a memory leak, or unbuffered query is actually still buffering something. Below is a simplified example that shows the memory leak. I am using Solaris 7, Sybase 11.9.2, and PHP 4.3.0.
