Hi,

wouldn't it be very helpful if mysql connectors support some sort of per session persistent connection?

this would save a lot of queries in many apps, for example SET NAMES, setting variables, creating temporary tables
How would a persistent connection save any of that?
Suppose the script that previously used the connection reset any or all of those things?

i do not fully understand, why should the script reset these things?

It doesn't have to reset any of those things, but you are *assuming*
that no other script *will* reset any of those things.  As far as I
understand what you want to do, that's an invalid assumption.  How
do you know what some other script might want to do? Perhaps it wants
a different character set than you do.

i do not talk of a global persistent connection, every session should have it's own persistent connection (if requested).


A session is a connection. When the connection ends, the session ends.
