Wait a minute, it's only useless if DBI and DBD::Oracle are not thread safe. Do we know if that's true? Just to be clear, Apache::DBI stores database handles in globals, which are not shared between threads. This provides persistence. DBI::Pool is a more ambitious idea to allow the handles to be actually shared, providing "pooling" as well as persistence. > But since you are using Oracle, if I remember correctly DBD::Oracle provides > an internal pooling support. I could be wrong, please check the docs. It's called ora_dbh_share. I haven't tried it yet, and probably won't for a bit since I'm not using Oracle at the moment. - Perrin
