Hi, I have the following problem: on a unix-solaris system a have a listener-socket running. a client can connect to this socket and pass commands, including sql-commands (on MySQL or Oracle db's) The listener-server is the parent process and for every new client/connection we fork this parent process. The idea was to have a pool of database handles to handle the sql-staments, so the pool could be shared among the forked processes and I would maintain their status. So I had the parent process set up a handle-pool, and when needed the client/connection would select a handle, do what it had to do and return it. But a new connection forkes and so everything from the parent process was duplicated. This means that changes to the pool-status where only visible for the client and not for the parent nor the other connections. Any suggestions an how the have a common "database handle pool" Hoping for a fast respons, kind regards [EMAIL PROTECTED]
