 The existing filter_get_bug_rows() function is 813 lines of code - arguably a candidate for some "refactoring with extreme prejudice" however that is beyond the scope of what I was trying to do here, which was to make MANTIS work acceptably under SQL server with more than 1000 open issues. The existing filter_get_bug_rows() function is 813 lines of code - arguably a candidate for some "refactoring with extreme prejudice" however that is beyond the scope of what I was trying to do here, which was to make MANTIS work acceptably under SQL server with more than 1000 open issues.

 +===== Alternative solution by RZG =====
 +
 +NOTE BY RZG:
 +My IMHO simpler solution was to use subqueries. With just 2 small changes, we were able to fix the issues described on my company Mantis, which has well over 10000 issues on it. See [[http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=7516|Issue 7516]].

 We now have over 6400 open issues. The view_all_bugs_page never takes more than 5 seconds to appear. Pages other than the  first  page such as accessed by clicking on the "Next" link can be accessed in under 3 seconds. We now have over 6400 open issues.

 +===== Future developments =====
 +
 +This modification has a number of limitations, particularly in that it is very much focused on SQL Server syntax. Ideally we would have an architecture in place in filter_api.php that allowed different database backends to use their own optimised search methods. This would probably require the implementation of architectural changes to MANTIS to allow for the use of variations in the query strategy with different SQL dialects. 
 +
 +For SQL server, I think we would want to look at using a stored procedure to return the required dataset for a particular page in view_all_bugs_page.
