In our application we have made a functionality to show the data in Microsoft Excel in addition to showing data on web page. On web page we manage to show large number of records at a time(say 20,000 records) but when we download large amount of data into excel(say 20,000) it gives the out of memory error.On the code side(perl) we are using an array to hold data to be displayed in excel. This is different from query timing out as query runs very fast. Please suggest how to handle it. Excel has limitation of 64K rows and 256 columns and in my case report data is much less than that.

Considered: Happy-the-monk What's Perl gotta do with it? - delete
Unconsidered: ysth - Keep/Edit/Delete = 17/0/23 - enough keep votes
