Re: [PHP-DB] Combing PDO with mysql_pconnect connections in one application -- will this degrade performance?

2009-12-10 Thread Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)
One thing to be careful is if you are relying on 'transactions' to handle anything. Obviously the transaction has to be in the same connection just to work. Despite what others have said, the PDO connection will be different to the generic mysql connection as it is a separate process.

As long as you test it (hopefully using some sort of automated tests) you should be right. Since you're using persistent connections (make sure you set pdo to do the same), I don't think you're really doubling the number of connections. Yeah, I think PDO uses the underlying mysql/pgsql

Hi, If the databases are in the same mysql server, then you could qualify the table select with the database name and simply re-use the connection select db_name.table_name.field from db_name.table_name [where] No offence, but if I saw this in an application's source code, I'd run a mile.

Hi, I got around this by creating a database wrapper class which gets passed the credentials from the app's config file. An instance of the class is created and saved in the session, and every query to the database runs through the class's Query() wrapper method which checks if the

Re: [PHP-DB] Very old question: Mysql and old authentication

The mysqlnd driver doesn't support MySQL 4.1 or earlier - it looks like the server that you think is 5.0.45 is actually a lot older, or your user account on MySQL has been set up using the old authentication method. The solution would be to re-compile PHP 5.3 with the original MySQL

-Remote Server old_passwords ON version 5.0.45 That's probably why - as I said in my previous e-mail, the mysqlng driver doesn't support the old authentication mechanism. If you cannot change the remote server, you need to re-compile PHP with the MySQL client library (libmysql)

Hi Giff, I want to have a look at this for you, but you'll need to put the file on your server as plain-text because your server is parsing the PHP code and only sending us the output, not the source code. Append *.txt to your file on the server and we should be able to see it better!

Hi Chris, $this-res = @pg_execute($this-session, $query); PHP is therefore trying to assign a query result to a property that doesn't exist. I would have expected PHP to throw an error at this but it may have been obscured with your logging settings, I'm not sure. Close - the '@'
