Andre, Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me. The whole Lua environment is quite new to me and so I'm not sure I understand your answer fully.
Since lots of my clients need to run shortest-path queries in parallelI, it sounds like you are recommending CGI for my particular situation?? Am I correct about that?? If I followed your advice, and created this deamon process, what would I write it with and how would it be able to obtain read-only access to these two large tables in my main Lua process?? Do you know of any articles or tech specs I can read to understand how to do this? I'm also unclear why Rings won't work? It it because a Rings can't access the memory/tables of their master? Thanks so much for your guidance, Dewey On Mar 7, 2010, at 7:42 AM, Andre Carregal wrote: > Well, if you really need to go CGI, maybe you should consider having a > deamon process running in parallel and handling the connection with > your graph.
