Re: Space for results table exhausted

[JON]

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. First, I made a mistake in my example in not including
a field from the tblAOType in the output that would've shown a need to use
that table. Aside from that, I had already tried what you suggested before
writing with no change in the results. Here's a better example of the
offending query with the most restricting condition first. (Using the
Explain command renders that same result as before).

SELECT
"OCPC"."TBLAOTYPE"."AOTYPE","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."NAME","OCPC"."TBLPROJAO".
"PROJAO","OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."SHOWONRESULTS","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."PHONE","O
CPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."ZIP","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."STATE","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER
"."CITY","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."ADDR1"

FROM "OCPC"."TBLAOTYPE","OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER","OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"

WHERE (("OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."PROJID" = 8329) AND
("OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."SHOWONRESULTS" = TRUE)) AND "OCPC"."TBLARCHOWNER"."ID"=
"OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."ARCHOWNERID" (+) AND "OCPC"."TBLAOTYPE"."AOTYPEID"=
"OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."AOTYPEID" (+)

ORDER BY "OCPC"."TBLPROJAO"."PROJAO" ASC

This is just one example of a query I build on the fly in Visual Basic code.
Building views seems unreasonable and it doesn't seem to me that there are
THAT many records involved here. But if I'm mistaken then by all means
somebody straighten me out. :)

Thanks,
Jon
