Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

IH informs me that, while they did not anticipate any problems with the site, they simply weren't expecting "over 200 concurrent mysql connections at the same time". They had no way of predicting that. They informed us that we are the reason the server has been so slow of late. They also suggested that we modify our code, as they believe the script we're using is the problem.

IH mentions that they think if we "optimize the database queries" that will help a lot. It isn't our bandwidth usage that is the issue, it's our resource usage.

I gotta say that IH actually giving us a clue as to what's happening is much better than the way HR just kept telling us "You should have fixed your code."

Hey, I'm where Jess is. I've been out of the programming loop for a while so I dunno if I'd be any help, but sql used to be my baby, so I'd be happy to at least look it over. I'm limited as to my online time, but if I could look at the code offline I'd have a fair whack of time this weekend to do it up. Let me know how to do whatever I gotta do. Like I said, I dunno if I'm up to scratch but I'd be glad to be extra eyes and hands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have an ERD lying around here somewhere. I'll make sure it's up to date, and then outline the queries involved in each transaction.

I think that's simpler than learning to read the code.

Sorry, I had to run off and do work for the people who write my paychecks.

Perhaps fangeek can turn on mysqld logging (for a short period of time) so that we can get a handle on what's happening?

I have asked this question. Will let you know what I hear.

DX -- I've taken off Natter 9 and Bitches 1. I didn't miss any, did I?

Nope. I've been working on Bitches 2, but it won't be ready for a couple of hours.

When you're done, just mark it "archived", and I'll check for that periodically and delete any then.

I can't access any mail through pop3now but I can access all of my accounts through Squirrel Mail.

Works for me, too. Thanks.
