Mark I'm guessing he's talking about mysql, not couch.  It's true that you 
can't run multiple simultaneous transactions over one mysql connection.  But 
that's a mysql connection in any language, not just node (unless I'm missed 
something).  Not a node-mysql expert, but your choices are: 

a) create a connection per request
b) create a connection pool, for example with node-pool, and acquire and 
release a connection on each request
