Hi there monks,

My problem is mainly a mysql one, but I hope that someone will still answer me?! I am trying to administer queries to my mysql database. There are 6 tables with two columns each containing pairs of numbers.

My problem is when querying myql directly from the command line I get the following:

mysql> SELECT AM.AM_A, AM.AM_M FROM AM,AR,SA,MR,SM,SR WHERE AM.AM_A !=
+ SA.SA_A && AM.AM_A != AR.AR_A && AM.AM_M != MR.MR_M && AM.AM_M != SM
+.SM_M; <P>     mysql: Out of memory (Needed 8164 bytes)<P>
ERROR 2008: MySQL client run out of memory

or sometimes:
ERROR 1030: Got error 28 from table handler

Using DBI through perl to make the query gives me the same problems! Does any one know of a less memory-intensive way of doing this? - either perl-based or mysql command line?

Kind regards to you all
