hi i think more traffic will create problems. as you state, you are going against an explicit warning in the docs. this is just begging for trouble.
why not just let Apache::DBI manage the handles for you? that is what it is written for. also, i think mysql can handle lots of connections ... [although, it's not a good idea to hammer your db this way] -----Original Message----- From: Helmut Zeilinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 7:46 AM [deletions] I have found no irregularities, but this statement in the Apache::DBI manpage makes me worried: "...Also it is not possible to create a database handle upon startup of the httpd and then inheriting this handle to every subsequent server. This will cause clashes when the handle is used by two processes at the same time. .." Questions: Do i have to expect problems, when there will be more traffic on the server leading to a situation where this connection will be used by more than one process at the "same time"? Is the mysql_function "last_insert_id()" still working correct in this situation? Thanks Helmut
