Hello all-

I have a large file (1.7million lines) that I wrote a script for in php to import into a mysql database. It takes 269 seconds to run and during that time my CPU usage only peaks at 33%- my question is why?

Is there some sort of throttling on php or mysql that I ve missed in the config... I don t understand why else it wouldn t try to use all the power available to import faster.

For the record- the quantity of data is 200MB- the data throughput of my RAID hard disk array is 300MB/s so it can t be that. I also have 8GB of RAM so it s not got a problem there.

Any ideas?
It s a quad processor. Is the reason then- that Apache can only use one core per script? I thought there was a way to distribute it and simulate a single core across them all...

Hi-
I have just installed wamp5 on my pc as need to do some PHP work! Either one or two things are happeneing here and I don t know why

I am having real problems connecting to the database I have created through PHP code! I have made a small php page to test the connection thus;

<?php
$username = "root";
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname- $username)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
print "Connected to MySQL<br>";

mysql_close($dbh);
?>

After running this page in a web browser this is all I get!

"; mysql_close($dbh); ?>

Neither an error message or the succesfull message is ran through!

Also does anyone know how to change the password using phpmyadmin

I am using WIndows XP SP2

Many thanks
