Apache::DBI is fine. You can also use DBI->connect_cached, as long as you are careful to avoid making any database connections during server startup and install your own cleanup handler to issue a rollback on all open database handles at the end of every web request.
The Apache::DBI code is very short and simple, so if you're wondering what it does, just read it. - Perrin On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Kurt Hansen <khan...@charityweb.net> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm wondering what techniques folks are using to get persistent database > connections other than Apache::DBI. > > Apache::DBI has worked great, but I've treated it as a black box and so > don't fully understand what it is doing in the box.
