Question

I get this error:

Error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered 
queries are active. Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll(). Alternatively, if your code 
is only ever going to run against mysql, you may enable query buffering by setting the 
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute.

How do you set this PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute?

Answer 1

There’s an example at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.php#pdo.constants.mysql-attr-use-buffered-query :

$stmt = $db->prepare('select * from foo',
        array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY => true));

(But if this is really a good solution to your problem is another question….)
