Hi,

Whenever I use select *, it takes indefinite amount of time. But if I select specific columns, it works fine. Please help.

You didn't provide the query.
You didn't tell what are the differences between your system and your friend's system?
Are you connecting to the same database from both the systems?
(Or) IS each system having its own database?

Anyway check the explain plan in both the systems.

That is not only absolutely hilarious, but it is also the only possible answer given the information we have. /forum/fa/1581/0/

Of course, everything else depends on what is the actual DIFFERENCE between your friends system and yours?

He could be connected locally with a gigabit LAN while you connect via a modem, for example.

Or he could be running the query in some GUI tool which returns only the first 100 rows, while you run something that tries to return all rows.

We really have no way of knowing.

I can think of other things to consider too.

Maybe you should try running it from someone's system who is not a friend. How does the fact that the person is a friend make any difference?
