Re: Managing session state over multiple servers

[Robert Locke]

All hail the Guide!  :-)

However, I would like to say that Apache::Session::DBIStore does the
following:
        
     $self->{dbh} = DBI->connect(
         $datasource,
         $username,
         $password,
         { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }         
     );

so, if, somewhere else, you use a connection string that, for example,
does NOT include:
        "{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }"

then a separate connection will be initiated.  That was the point I
was trying to make.

Also, re: the Guide, exactly how does one go about changing a
parameter like "LongReadLen"?  Should one set it and then reset it to
its original value, something like:
        $longreadlen = $dbh->{LongReadLen};
        $dbh->{LongReadLen} = 500000;
        [do your stuff]
        $dbh->{LongReadLen} = $longreadlen;

Thanks!
