Hello: I continue to unravel the mystery of the 'document contains no data' message I recieve when searching a mySQL database online.. Previous suggestions have been to run the (my)isamchk command, or that a server crash or a poorly built MySQL server could be causing the tables to corrupt. [Sinisa writes: (Poorely built, means not built per specification. Means bad libraries, ancient compiler, config options not suitable for the OS.]

This 'result' of a 'the document contains to data' seems to occur when I join numerous table; then it eventually runs down to me being unable to search ANY tables, individual or joined. In theory, how may rows should mySQL be able to return successfully -- in a reasonable amt of time. 100? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?

Thanks for you input.
