Hi, at this time there is no such option. The benefit of dlopen()ing the drivers instead of linking them in is that you don't have to recompile libdbi in order to install drivers. This makes it convenient for package or port systems to ship individual drivers separately from the library. I can't judge though whether your idea is technically feasible. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
