I'd like to have multiple ithreads share a single db connection. The DBD::mysql doc seems to indicate there wouldn't be an issue, but the DBI doc still indicates that is a no go to use a shared connection.
"However, the internal pointer data within the handles will refer to the DBI and drivers in the original interpreter. Using those handles in the new interpreter thread is not safe, so the DBI detects this and croaks on any method call using handles that don't belong to the current thread (except for DESTROY). Because of this (possibly temporary) restriction, newly created threads must make their own connections to the database. Handles can't be shared across threads. " using perl 5.8.8, DBI 1.609, DBD::mysql 4.011 mysql 5.0.45-log Is this restriction still needed / enforced? -- Tim Hester Impeva Labs, Inc.
