You can't send multiple queries in an SQL statement. You can just split that in two separates queries. It's not really slower by any practical means because the DB system would have to execute them both anyway. -- Bruno Ferreira --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What do I need to do to correct this?? Just use $rec2day= date(Y/m/d); You database system doesn't like using - as a separator in dates, thus thinking it's a minus sign and doing the appropriate math. Just use slashes and you'll probably be OK. -- Bruno Ferreira --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Doesn't require drivers and is self-contained. Check it out at http://firebird.sourceforge.net/ The latest versions of PHP have a built-in extension for it, so it should be relatively smooth sailing, as long as you don't have much trouble converting the DB. For the task of converting the database, I suggest you write a script that you will run on your local machine, which reads all the records in the Access db and then inserts them in the Firebird db (SELECT from one side, INSERT into the other). Should be pretty painless to do this every once in a while.

No :\
What did you want to do with that number? Maybe there is some other
way around

The limit is probably set somewhere else, like the size of the
string that you can pass to mysql_query() or something similar. Even
then, why don't you just split the records in blocks of X and insert
them one block at a time?

You don't really need to have an encrypted connection to MySQL unless your webserver and MySQL server are on different machines *and* those machines are not behind the same switch/firewall/router/etc. Otherwise, I guess you could create an IPSec (or maybe an SSH) tunnel to the other machine and redirect it to a local port.
