Jeff Horn posted this a couple years ago either here or @ dbi-users

# Hacked Up Version of Apache::DBI
#
# Hacking by: Jeff Horn ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
#
# Purpose: This version of Apache::DBI maintains a SINGLE persistent
#          connection to each database.  When the user changes on 
#          subsequent connect calls, the DBI->func( ., ., 'reauthtenticate')
#          is called to quickly authenticate the new user on the existing
#          connection.

I've used it for a few projects, I haven't really follow how changes over
the last year to Edmund Mergl's Apache::DBI or Tim Bunce's DBI may have
affected it.

I recall one problem being when using different attributes to connect 
methods.

Have fun.
