It worked pretty well for what I needed it to do which was share persitant Oracle connections in a forking Perl daemon where Apache::DBI was obviously not an option. I also had many server children connected at any given point. Are you getting tripped up in the difference between the sqlr-listener and connection? There will be only one sqlr-listener per Apache child, but this is a light weight connection. The listener then contacts the sqlr-connection daemon to acquire a database handle and do the "heavy" lifting whenever your code needs access to a handle. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wiles.org ---------------------------------
