Title: Message

Tehe, don't worry, Bob, the developers here work for me, so I can be as un-diplomatic as I wanna be.   I don't know how you would do it in Micro$oft; perhaps some kind of component (.NET? DCOM?) could do this for them.   I can do it in Java and Perl. Can't imagine that there isn't some mechanism out there for ASP/M$.   -----Original Message----- From: Bob Metelsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 8:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: PMON seems to not close sessions in a timely manner eg "Max   > From: Bob Metelsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > I have a developers stored procedure making repeaded calls > (logons/request for data and logoff) > Each call takes only seconds but it seems like PMON dosnt close the > process in a timely manner, leaving what look to be ghost > process.

That is one of the sorriest excuses for a data access methodology that exists. Tell them to start pooling their database connections or you'll turn your max processes down even further.  Hummm....  I have to be more diplomatic than that .. ;-) They are using the Oracle 8.17 provider with a connection string like so Connect=Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;PLSQLRSet=1;Password=a;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=a;Data Source=mydb  Jeremy, do you have any examples of using pooled connections with active server pages? I'd like to be able to at least point them in the right direction.... and also have the information myself   many thanks Bob
