I've gone through the mailing list archives on the subject of persistent connections, trying to figure out how to end the threads that mysqld creates, once I'm done. How would I set a program to have NON-persistent connections? I was planning to get the thread id, and use mysql_kill in the following manner: unsigned long thread_id =0; assert (mysql_errno(connptr) == 0); thread_id = mysql_thread_id (connptr); <--- seg fault here I have attempted this with the root user, and it still segfaults. I am running mysql-3.23.33, compiled from source with prefix=/usr/local/mysql/ enable-thread-safe-client with-pthreads with-debug and I am linking against mysqlclient_r Running under Redhat 6.1 Any suggestions?
