Concequences of Too Many Queries
 

Just curious, aside from slower load times and increased bandwith, what are some of the other consequences of running too many queries?

problems with your host ^^

even sometimes errors can occur..

My host doesn't seem to mind just as long as I don't exceed my bandwith, and I don't really get errors unless I mess up a hack. I run tons of queries and my speed is hardly effected so I guess I am in good standing :p

An increase in queries will only result in increased bandwidth iff they are used in producing extra stuff that will be sent to the browser :)

It can even crash the server and corrupt your database. Also it's just not good coding.

Well, I will hold off on installing more hacks than. My forums have been up for almost a year and I haven't had any crashes due to my massive, excessive amount of queries, so I think I am alright in that department. As for the bandwith, I get 30gb and I never come near that number, so I am fine in that department as well.

Thanks for all the information, I will keep it in mind :)

Your host will get ++++ed off, though...

GaleForce, I wouls say this is far past too many queries. ;)

Page generated in 0.55015099 seconds (62.84% PHP - 37.16% MySQL) with 297 queries.

Don't worry, some pages do 305 :)

Like I said, he told me it was alright as long as I didn't consume excessive bandwith or crash the servers :)
