Re: Apache::Session::Pg blob support?
On Sat, 27 May 2000, Gunther Birznieks wrote: At 03:08 PM 5/26/00 -0400, Richard Dice wrote: Hello there... I was wondering, with the new Pg-specific support you've got going with Apache::Session, does it handle Pg blobs transparently? The regular limit on the size of a tuple in Pg is 8k, which can be a problem if I'm trying to put more than that into my Apache::Session tied hash. (Yes, I do that sometimes. It's a handy place to hide stuff, those sessions...) Well, they are handy at that. But on the other hand, I tend to question the use of storing a LOT of data in sessions. At the point that the data reaches a critical mass, then it is likely that the data is getting more crucial to the application. If the data is crucial to the application, that also tends to mean that it would be best served (ultimately) by having an appropriate data structure where the session ID happens to be a key. While my persistent objects tend to be under 1K, I don't intend to enforce policy on users of Apache::Session. If we can remove a size limitation without introducing other problems, I say let's do it. -jwb eg I may make a file based session for just storing sundry things, but I would rarely want to store a shopping cart for a web store inside a session. A shopping cart is a data structure that has potential links to other information such as inventory tables. Now, the cart should be tied to the session id anyway, but whether the data should be stored as one big blob is another issue. Another thing about huge sessions is that depending on your locking and concurrency considerations, one big blob can become suboptimal for performance if you are not careful. Anyway, I guess this is just a philosophical issue with me. I know others like to store everything in their sessions. :) Later, Gunther __ Gunther Birznieks ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Extropia - The Web Technology Company http://www.extropia.com/
Re: Apache::ASP doesn't initialize variables?
Philip Mak wrote: I've noticed something peculiar with Apache::ASP. It does not seem to be initializing variables to 0. That is, if I load one ASP webpage that sets a variable to X, then in the next ASP webpage the variable is initialized to X instead of 0. Is this intended behavior, or is it a bug? Try the UseStrict setting. You are using global variables which will not be reset by Apache::ASP. Also, I was wondering if there is a way to make Apache::ASP print more meaningful error messages when a compile error is encountered, instead of "500 Internal Server Error". Right now I have to look in my HTTP error log, which gives something like this: [Fri May 26 05:56:54 2000] [error] [asp] [31714] [error] Bad name after Arrest' at (eval 31) line 96. -- , /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/ASP.pm line 1180 Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 20) line 96, near "'yuarrest/|You're" (Missing operator before re?) Set Debug to 2 for HTML debug output. This also does not tell me the filename of the script that caused the problem, so sometimes I have to guess when my script uses #include file. It would be nice if Apache::ASP would display the error message right there on the webpage (a la IIS ASP). -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Set DynamicIncludes to 1 so that includes are compiled as their own subroutines... the error will then be relative to that file.
